Sharing the Gift

They welcomed me
without question
never asking or judging
why or when.
Their wide embrace
circled
caressed
accepted me
as I was
as I am.

I became them.
We became one
family.

Like souls are brought together
not bound by parentage
but by the spirit
not tied by birth
but by emotions.
A celebration of tenderness
and fullness
one of acceptance
appreciation
and pure joy
sharing the gift
family.
