FAMILY
On a quiet Christmas day, I thought and searched back.
My grandmother say on her last birthday many years ago: ''Keep
the family together''
Years later my beloved mother say similar: ''generations
slide on''
Now we have Internet, and we can search for our family.
It is a shame that the whole our family fall in parts.
On this quiet Christmas day , I searched for aunts, uncles, cousins and more .....
And saw many already passed
away, and not much more left.
I have only a narrow contact
with my only sister, the live also their own lives.
It does not scare me to death,
but I'm a little frightened when the time goes so quickly.
I not have more contact with my
own 3 children, the hate me about my divorce in the nineties, and my lifestyle.
But the live also like grasshoppers, and have children with
different partners, what a shame.
Their children lose their identity, and search later also
about their backgrounds / roots.
Now I think: ''What I'm'' - family, a father, a uncle, a grandfather,
a stepfather, a step-grandfather, a stranger, .....
I don't know more what I'm ?
