NIECES AND NEPHEWS

ARC © 7/18/15
Thank you God,

For my nieces and nephews:
great ones too
who show me honor and respect;
color my life with brilliant hue.

Sibling memories from youth
are revivified through them:
all the seasons of joy through sadness
via heritage stem.

The joy and wonderment
that pleases me most of all:
they validate, enrich family legacy -
truly standing tall.

Although occasions in vivo are rare,
miles keep us apart:
prayers for them and theirs are faithfully said daily -
perpetually impressed upon heart
