NaPoWriMo 2016 *Day 2* Family Album
We sang to the world and made it a better place
Always with some ups and downs we always knew there would be in the end
The all important piece
Called love.
We were always moving on up, new faces and new places
Where Buildings touched the sky and we met new friends
Blending in to the mix of life.
We were many and we held on through tears and laughter,
Life and death
And all the things life could possibly bring.
Mom cried when Dad died and we sat wondering what would happen
But we made it through, we had each other.
We were beautiful and we were brave,
The sisters that I wished were me.
We were lost in a land where monsters roamed night and day,
Leaving nightmares behind to this day,
A scary place we longed to escape.
We went to school and learned through hard knocks lessons,
Sharing memories and spaces before moving on.
We roamed the dusty west, riding horses and doing good deeds,
Helping neighbors and friends,
Though we had some trouble, fighting and growing
We had each other in the end.
Our world was often black and white
Yet there was always a smile to be had.
We grew up innocent and the country was where it began,
Simple life with not much money,
Love was enough.
We became temporary tribes when we combined,
A little of each three girls and a boy
Times two became too much. We dreamed of escaping someday,
Yet made it through each storm unscathed
Together.
We were stared at for being different
Each unique in our own way
And we grew up secure that we were going to be okay.
Becoming strong through this thing called life,
Not always there together but always in the mind
The essence of a family album
Good times,
Bad times…..
Life.
Today’s NaPoWriMo prompt was to write about our families, perhaps finding a picture and writing about each person. I don’t have any complete images so thought I’d write about the families I became a part of growing up, locked in my world of fantasy and escape.
Perhaps my family was a part of yours too…
