Family extended

Family extended

A Poem by EileenMarie
"

Adoption, family secrets uncovered , love, life, adoption

"
Life has a way of surprising you
A decision made for one thing
Has opened a new chapter
Adding missing pieces
A new found sister
And family
Filled with love
Sharing
Me

love the theme....the feeling of this...that giving of love...and also the shape of the poem with the lines getting short...until it comes down to One word, like One love, and sharing with another One.

Having lost my older sister, I am down to two siblings. Family is the core of us all, without it there is nothing to tether us.

A profound message you've given us, EileenMarie...and a most impressive form!
