Though for some
this is not the case,
for me the coming of
family together at
special times of the year
is a sweet aged liqueur
sipped and enjoyed
in the warm hugs
and the smiles of hello
and the vital conversations
dripping with thickly coated love.
For this is family together,
and it warms me like
too much sweet liqueur,
but I drink and drink,
for tomorrow they will
be gone back to their
lives and the special times
will be over till the next time
when we sip together again
this precious sweet and warming love.
