BEHOLDEN

The warm embrace of love fills my mood.
Laughs.
Side conversations.
And tears of how we all connect as beings warm the heart and allow the soul to glisten with rays of light.
Joy presides in the atmosphere as we rekindle spirits.
Aged moments of time permeate through words.
I inhale the observation.
Accepting the present.
Reliving past events.
Family.
Sweets.
Stomach aches.
Pastries baked with childhood goodies.
Remind us how beautiful life is in golden years.
Kinships joined.
Fellowships remembered.
Strangers but friends dine in gratitude.
Yet the heart tells our story.
The feeling.
The emotion.
Happiness profound.
Thrilling.
Beholden.
