Family

Family needs closeness to strive Family needs commitment to stand Tenderness to the need for privacy- The privacy to physical consolation And the consolation straight to harmony With a little help from rationalization The sympathy leads smoothly into peace Family is closeness not just for sexuality Family is togetherness in trouble and joy Family is goodness and kindness to all Family is fulfilment, fidelity and sharing Family is faithfulness to your spouse and kids Family is fruitfulness and friendship What good is a family if you're not a family? What good is success if no one to share it with? Don't be too ambitious to forget your family, Job comes and go but family remains in midlife. Don't throw away family and pick up job The frustration there after is greater than hell. Together, but alone! That is loneliness of the Most haunting and devastating kind to avoid. (C) John Chizoba Vincent Voice Of Vincent 2016
