WHEN GENERATIONS COME TOGETHER

I love when generations of a family come together…

how they ride happily on our shoulders…when our life is full of sunshine, 

full of light and warm…

and how they hoist us onto their shoulders to help us weather any storm.

When generations come together…

I love how quickly we discern…

each generation has something to teach…

and each has something to learn.

For when generations come together…

when they share their thoughts, their feelings…their hearts…

they take a little of each generation with them when it’s time for them to part.

Knowing the changes may be subtle…

changes, at that moment, they might not see…

but changes that help them blend together…generations of one family.

So they’ll be ready to ride upon our shoulders in our sunshine….

or hoist us onto theirs in stormy weather….

It’s one of the things I love about family…

when generations come together.
