Family

Sweaty palms grasp one another, searching for comfort and relief.

Anticipation pulses through every muscle and excitement radiates throughout.

A face in pain from the constant grins, heads thrown back in laughter and lips pursed from the quiet.

The profound moment of happiness encompasses every body, every face, every movement.

Purposeful words are spoken and intelligent minds listen.

All the words from mouths are retrieved by ears, and every friendship is cherished with the love of knowing that time is limited.

As the journey unravels towards the end, fleeting moments fly by.

Hands release during the decent and must accept their emptiness.

But soon, they will reach for new ones.
