15 Years, And Now A Get Together? Poem by Rita Hawkins

We reunite in the night,
But by the day are sight for everyone we love can go astray.
If we love them, in our hearts they will stay.
But people often overlook one thing,
Something that can make other people's hearts sting.

What about the family they have before people they love are seen,
It kind of makes the new comers feel out of the scene.
People have kids and get married, so is that what they mean?
Are the families people settle with unimportant to them,
And if not why to people seam to be so dim?

I know from being one that was left out,
That is not what they are about,
Please do not fear or doubt,
Chances are they had problems in the past,
It may take you minute to accept it, it does not come that fast.

I am not going to say I am a pro and have it like a master
Right now it feels like a disaster,
Although the storm calms the more and more I speak with them,
And prehaps they were at one time dim,
But now they want to know about us,
And I guess it is no worse than people who wait until their almost dust,
To get to know their own kids,
or the heavenly father which is a must.

So lord help me to forgive and forget,
Help me to go to my room and peacfully sit,
Help me to feel as if I may fit in this family,
and not feel as if this would have been better if I got hit by a semi,
during the hardest time that I ever fought.
