Family Unit
By: Ellie Talich
Related by blood, no matter the change,
The constant love, along with loads of care.
While sometimes the dynamic may be strange,
Family is a bond that nobody can spare.
The mother may sing with the morning breeze.
The father may watch his wife from afar.
A partnership won’t come with total ease,
But some days will feel like a shooting star.
The children chase their shadows on the floor,
Piercing voices as if candy were near.
They race through halls, then tumble to the door,
Like the loud wind that shakes and brings on fear.
No parade, no treasure with jewels displayed,
Just feelings that bring joy, which never fade.
