Like sands through an hour glass

family traditions flow

as the members change

some come and go

A favorite from times past

my father cooking on the grill

sweet aromas fill the air

a culinary thrill

The sound of music

an uncle and my husband playing guitar

songs of love and joy

still can hear them from afar

Mom and aunt on holidays

laughing in the kitchen

a staple recipe on Independence Day

Hawaiian Chicken

Going to the beach

riding the waves

collecting shells

crafts that were made

Connections

that now ride the wind

traditions are a reminder

of the love we send
