For My Family
A good friend
told me
her family
no longer
celebrates birthdays
with gifts.
Because they grew weary
of failed expectations
they have canceled
birthday observances.
I want to be sure
you know
I do not feel
the same way.

Friends and Family
Friends and Family by Lori Lipsky Good friends of today become old friends, lost friends friends we haven't seen in twenty years, in forty years, but only death can separate family, and then, just for a time **********
My deepest sympathy to dear WP friend Resa on the loss of her beautiful mother. Resa wrote a lovely poem on a difficult day, which she shares over at Queen’s End. ~Lori
