reminisce

only yesterday
we looked ahead
and laughed
and in that moment
twenty years have passed
and now we sit
and reminisce
and wonder how
we got to this
how through the years
we got to here
down different paths
to end up
still together
still a family
forged and foraged
formulated but never formulaic
we look back and laugh
and ahead and laugh
and in that laugh
lies the alchemy
that binds us
