THOSE CLOSEST
Your members of family and friends...
Love and respect which never ends.
So, hold high with all your cherish
Those closest before they perish...
For life eventually descends.
Some are there from the beginning...
Watching you in all your spinning.
Others enter your life later.
All are there to make it greater...
Ensuring that you are winning.
Those assisting in your raising...
Encouraging you of amazing.
Ones of open hearts escorting
In their guidance and supporting...
Your peers of which are worth praising.
The bunch of flowers in your vase.
Your other worlds - Venus and Mars.
The soldiers strong in your platoon...
Those who would fly you to the moon
And back again - your shining stars.
Even for those of broken lives,
Presence of those closest survives.
Although you may have had a past
Of torment, you are not outcast...
Instead, part of something that thrives.
This may not seem the case at first...
However, do not think the worst.
Reaching out to you with their perks...
Sources of support and networks
Quenching your proverbial thirst.
Whether they are blood or not...
There to help you out on the spot.
Be they family, friend - another
Source of one unto the other,
They will give you all they have got.
Anybody can help you see
Your worth in all that you can be.
Support, guidance and assistance
Towards you through your existence...
Those closest sought you to be free.
