Kin

over the years possessions

may become heirlooms,

and might be eagerly

coveted as one generation

hands its flame onto the next,

the sense of family can often

be undervalued until there

is a real danger of loss,

unlike certain tangible

chattels or assets

mortality has no value

we are destined to grow,

wither and die, leaving only

memories, destined also

to eventually do the same,

cherish your family dearly

however short the time

make every meeting

meaningful, enjoy

them while you can

time is fleeting,

be present
