Family

What does it mean,
Family?

Surely,
It doesn't mean arguments,
Stealing,
Secrets,
Lies,
Pain.

Or maybe,
That is the meaning of family,
Well,
It is for mine.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

That is a small poem with a lot of sadness in it. Keep writing. Welcome to PoetrySoup.
