Family as extended

and when they come to us;
those things that we want
those things that we don’t
those that belong to us
those that are for family,
when they finally come
and we can gather again
and lean on the arms of our stories
all together, fine and better,
when we finally can,
as boy and man,
dynasty and clan
complete,
I would have wished upon a star
that brought us this far
