An Eternal Bond

[Mallika Menon]

An Eternal Bond

The root from
which you come,
that's your family
where peace adhere.
Come rain or shine,
they will be there
like a shadow
glue to you,
to cheer up you
with each and every
goal you make.
That's your family
who do anything
to see your smile
so bright and placid.
They'll accept you in a breeze
as the way you, exactly.
The family means,
a unique blend  of individuals
who love, laugh and learn together
no matter, in glee or gloom.
Family draw all of you close,
that is the base and grace of life.
You should keep
in touch with them
to polish, nurture
care and love.
You may fight and argue simply
Shouts and curses may follow.
Still, no problem for a making up
That's the magic of the menage.
You shouldn't take them
for granted that
they may vanish in a wink.
Like melted snow just turns to slush.
So, hold them tightly as precious.
For that we should make
a bond in between,
not to break,
but to bind,
the hands and minds
of those who stand
as a family,  all combine,
like leaves on a tree or
pearls in a chain.
In the time of trouble
and in some needs
They strengthen each one's
withering morale,
and that's your only
strength and power.
Without them none can succeed.
With them you never feel alone.
Every family has one thing common
That can be called as eternal love.
