Family Together

When the winds and cold are outside I like to feel the fire's warmth And listen to the elders' tales Of love, adventure and longing

At the winter night meal With my family I sit together And laugh and cry with them And remember the stories of past generations.

Nothing is more beautiful than this It gives me peace and bliss And connects me to my nation And reminds me of who I am.
Igor Marynowski, poetry and illustration
