My Family

In the sky of  life
Grandparents are midnight stars
Sacred rays they slant.

Staying in my heart
My parents, my living God
Blessing ever nice 

It is a big tree
Children, the heavenly fruit
Leaned branches for Thee.

My earth is pretty 
Lovely wife flows like river
My dreams are like sea.

It is like garland
Tied  hearts with single thread
Team work, god prefer.

Felt very happy knowing your strong bond and great love and devotion to family. So nice piece. But it does nit belong to haiku. Syllable count strictly stick to 5-7-5. Also god should be God. Best wishes.

Nice metaphors, Manmath ... I liked the way you connected family with the elements ... "team effort, God prefers" ... a great way to wrap it up. Family is give and take ...
