Love And Respect Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Thinking of ancestors, strong and stubborn Sicilians like
myself.

Once living their lives on earth with family, doing every-
thing expected of them and then some.

Always loving and expecting the best out of everyone they
met.

Children, Grandchildren, all taking part in family traditions
and get-togethers constantly.

Celebrating Italian ways with good food and joyful love, ,
nothing ever able t compare with any of it.

A totally wholesome and genuine love and respect for family
ties throughout our lives together.

Everything encompassed and learned within family is brought
outside into the world.
