Three Generations Lived Together As One

Three generations lived together under one roof as one.
Then the youngest challenged the ways of the oldest.
They reached no reconciliation.

So, they separated – with torn hearts.

A death brought them together again.
At the funeral, the mind of the oldest and youngest recognized how it was, too late to live as ‘One’.
Hearts felt otherwise.

They only reunite at weddings, and funerals these days.
Warm embraces fill their longing hearts.
New promises replace the old as they temporarily become ‘One’, once more.
