lightness in the dark
Hey there my fellow poets! Blessings and greetings to you all for a prosperous new year. Life has been pretty rough for me since I last posted but nonetheless, as always with God's mercy and grace I've persevered. I'm finally at a point where I can start posting again. I so miss being on here and reading everyone's works. I hope that everything is going well for everyone. Let's keep the inklove flowing!

But We're Family Though

CATEGORY

Raised by disciplined hands
Without prejudice, regardless of
Our differences
Despite the churlishness and
Biased acceptance I stayed the
Course and ran the gauntlet,
But we’re family though.

Trained up in elder’s life essentials
Unity was the intended purpose
For our strength and togetherness
Nonetheless we remain divided
And it’s instead our weakness
I guess it doesn’t matter to you,
But we’re family though.

Calls of “I need you fam” ring
Like church bells on Sunday morning
Whenever it suits your ego yet
A simple acknowledgement of me
Is like cutting wood with a rusted saw
Damned if it do or damned if it don’t
But we’re family though.

Regardless of how things are
How they’ve been or will be,
The ground I stand on is solid.
Remember, time stands still for none
But will reveal unspoken truths
Even when their holders remain silent
Get right before you get left.
God bless you fam.

Power message! Yes... the lesson of the prodigal is deep and demanding of much love; no matter what, we're still family. I remember the elders always saying, "...I can't stand the old so'n so...but we family!" I hear you, Sister. Thanks for sharing. Peace and Love, mlowe5.

Yes Sister! God never gives Us more than we can handle...so that we can be there for those whom we often feel have less...but in reality is more than they exspected! Such is the nature of labors of Love. Peace and Love, mlowe5
