When family lives close...
You stop byfor Saturday morning baking with niece and nephew.
When family lives close...
You call up Aunt Ruth for to schedule game night for two.
When family lives close...
You drop by Grandmas on a Sunday afternoon.
When family lives close...
You arrive on Aunt Pat's doorstep, hosting dinner for you.
When family lives close...
You boat with your siblings or take kids to the zoo.
When family lives close...
You meet parents for dinner, and Sunday lunch too.
When family lives close...
You have places and spaces
Always and immediately
Open to you.
You have hugs ever-waiting
And bonds ever-present
And people you love, who love you,
Close.
Oh how many days don't I wish that family lives close...
