Family traditions
Were begging to fade
From generation’s memories
No family to encourage
Annual reliving
Passing them on
To younger kin
Just need to do it
For myself
For my parents
For our memories
Take the time
Make the time
In life’s busy days
To ensure
The best parts of life
We had together
Our family’s traditions
Are remembered
For another year
Before ultimately
Fading
Away
– James Dubeau
