Family
Each unique
challenging
one of a kind
affiliate
Requesting precise attention
without verbalizing
Unusual love
Reciprocating inversely
The trick:
Finding the balance
What does each require
from you?
What can be contributed
to their success
and wellbeing?
What can be achieved
together?
Blood linked
varying versions
Kindled offspring
beautifully offset
obliviously lucky
to label an exclusive group
“Family”
Magnifying those relationships
Igniting life
Crystals shatter
bloodying bottoms of feet
Oak finished masterpieces
left out to splinter
pricking fingertips
Detrimental disputes
Premature pardons
Leaving loved ones
roaming detached
Nevertheless,
Toiled over disparities
Honestly forgave
Inseparably intertwined
Permitting
lengthier late-night talks
Freeing futures
Failure unacceptable
Plan B nonexistent
