Time Stands Still

When I see them,
Time stands still--
I am lost
Somewhere between my childhood and now.
So much has changed,
Many roads have been traveled
Together
And apart.
I am thankful I am a witness
To all our lives have to hold.
The good outweighs the bad.
We are sewn from the same thread,
Woven from the same loom.
All of us-
Connected,
Intertwined.
Without each other we would unravel.
Forever searching for the needle to make us whole.
Connected by love,
Bonded by faith--
We are the simplest,
Yet the most complex thing there is.
We are family.
