Family
How can one define the concept of family?
To me it’s a framework of two strong pillars
Of ideal role models who are complementary
And who function as life’s wisdom fillers
Moreover, I think it’s a microcosm structure
With moral foundations as the base
A kind of roof and walls housing a culture
Of warmth in the middle of its place
Let’s consider a family a boat that’s riding waves
Tackling small waves and tall ones
With a floating crew of sailors so brave
Comprised of parents, daughters and sons
A family can be a biological unit
Bonded by a loving synergy
While preserving individual interest
And a shaping of fond future memories
A family is usually a group who agrees
Although that's not all of the time
But fortunately, no one will flee
For they are a compromising kind
Family is not a place for violence
Or intimidation or aggression
Domestic slavery makes no sense
Love does not spring from oppression
I believe a family to be a learning field
A home of brain, heart and body touch
Where one can grow, glow, and yield
To life’s trials of which there are much
A family is an expression of amazing support
Where experience is lent from generations
A connectivity, an incredible fort
I ask: would these points be exaggerations?
