Love

Love, how many forms
Can you take?

The colour of a tiger
The gentleness of a dove

The heat of a fire
The cold hard fear
Of loss

A gentle hand reaching out
A smile that gently reminds us

Stay forever, never leave
Whispered in the dark

The gentle breeze that 
Strokes, brittle branches

Family

And the friendship of
Another, lasting

A lifetime!
