My wish this holiday season

My wish....

I wish that every child could know their grandparents.

I wish that every child could grow up hearing old family tales and lullabies.

I wish that every child could make chair forts before watching movies.

I wish that every child could go fishing with their grandpa.

I wish that every child could turn their grandma's pots into musical instruments.

I wish that every child could know the safety of strong arms rocking them to sleep.  

I wish that every child knew the vivid color of burnt-orange dirt from a garden.

I wish that every child had a family that loved them no matter what. 

And above all, I wish that we would treasure our time together more for it is fleeting.
