A need to belong

Looking in at the joy of a family partaking an evening meal sharing their tales of the day.

Press a hand upon the warm pain longing to be a part of a forgotten tale.

Smiling with the laughter, moving closer as others listen intently, shedding a tear at the close of a happy ending.

Looking over a shoulder as a warm family home grows distant; a picturesque moment frozen in timelessness.

Feeling a need to belong.
