Family and Friends

Now, it is time for a few words that is years; maybe centuries late.
I love you.
I feel guilty for having quiet times; lazing around, when I could have visited.
I realize that it is no justification that I was too tired to make an effort to see you.
I am realistic enough to know that next year will tend to be the same.
I am honest enough to actually say it; because it is true.
I know that your available time will not synchronize with mine.
“That is how life is”; I realize, is a lousy excuse.
Yet; if you think about it… sadly, it is the only excuse to offer that we understand.
Life itself entangles us with cycles that make it appear okay not to say hi.
It is true for you and certainly for me.

I have and will always love you; I do wish to spend time with you.
I often have a thought of you fly through my head, just before I decide what to do next.
I sometimes contemplate about an alternative route home, including your place as a stop.
It happens that I want to call to say hi; then, another “more important” cycle invades.
I know that this must be true for you too.

So, though you do not hear from me or me from you; I understand why.
That is how life is; we all experience it that way.
Similarly we often feel guilty; for, it is not suppose to be that way, but it is.
No news is good news; not?

Here is some intention and true heart wishes…
I pray that you may be blessed in such a way that others think you are God’s favourites.
May your tables be overthrown with good food and drink.
Your kids prosper and gain practical wisdom and knowledge.
May you be loved and adored and may you be permitted to do the same.
May your wallets never instigate a concern.
May you have success at those things you tackle that’s not unfair to others.
May God and His Angels be close to you and protect you from harm.

May you be blessed.
Know that you are loved.
Be kind and enjoy everyday as a gift in itself.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
