Meeting The Family Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

It was a birthday celebration
for a child I didn't even know
but he was Terry's son's relation
Jesus' love to all I would show.

A past wife, her boyfriend near,
meeting Terry's son handsome,
friendly, respectful to those dear.
I was truly accepted and welcome.

His brother lives not too far away
just over the hill, planes whirring
propellers spinning as trees sway.
He watches his garden growing.

Although his family seems small,
no dads or moms, relatives few,
meeting brother and son very tall
knowing my life now starts new.

I really didn't visit much or long
but never did I feel out of place.
I hated leaving the time was gone.
Soon the distance wil be erased.
