“Families of people from long, long ago
Families like stepping stones crossing the water
Leading to now and the families you know.
Everyone comes from a number of families
When you look backward it looks like a tree
People from families make other new families
The more you go back the more people you see
.... Think of the families, the ones that you're from
Someday you'll grow up and you'll have a new family
And you'll be the family of families to come!”
******************
Our lives are enriched as we are mindful of and get to know those families before us and pave the way for the families to come.
