K is for Kinship

Raymond A. Foss's words sum up the kinship found over the years, continents and rounds of ABC Wednesday.


Far flung, around the world
pieces of our hearts
held within the hearts,
the souls, of the ones we love
some oh so near,
others far off, in places
I have not known
wandering the world,
living their lives
but held fast to my heart
by blood, by kinship,
friendship too, an equal bond
part of my heart is there with them too
because they touched my heart
and took a piece of me with them
to those far off places
where I now live

  1. What a wonderful post - and so appropriate. I so strongly feel a kinship with so very many of you whom I know only from this wonderful site. Thank you all for making this feel more like an extended family (in a good way:-)!!!!).

  5. Denise, this is so appropriate as I feel I sort of know some of the people I've met here on ABCW. In fact, I have met some in person even, including YOU, which was such a great joy!
