The photographs I got today, Show family members far away. The children all have grown so. There are a few that I don't know. They were born when I was gone. Now time has left it's mark upon The older members of the clan. I need to go home, if I can Before it is too late to see These people who are dear to me. I've imaged them as just the same As when I left. These pictures came And cause a sense of urgency. Their days are running out on me. One aunt looks very fragile now. I'd like to sit and tell her how Her kindness always banished woe. When it was time for me to go, She was the one I missed the most. Here she is a virtual ghost! The years have flown, I don't know where. I've not done much to show I care, So I must hurry back to be Within the realm of family.

Dear Betty. I like this a lot. Things change so fast and so furiously. I was just writing a family reunion poem. We are having one here at my place in July. Guess I'll post it. Joyce [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (edited 04-20-2001).] |

Betty, Absolutely beautiful - so glad I came back on today and back in here. Thanks - this is too true of too many of us who live far away from the family- Panne |

Very nice. Family is the most important thing in life. Spending more time with them is something that you won't ever regret. |

Bob: Thanks for commenting. Joyce: I haven't read your latest poem yet, but I will. We are having a family reunion at the Oregon Coast in June. We'll have to compare notes later. Betty Lou Hebert |

Panne: This poem was written several years ago and I did go back to Edmonton, Alberta and see many of my family members. It was a great reunion. It's a very large family now. Over 250 people. We have to rent a hall to get together. Betty Lou Hebert |
