Family is defined by feelings
not just those of love.
A need stirs up inside
sent down from above.
The yearning to help, to comfort
to care for those in your family.
To be sure they will survive
And receive whatever they need.
Definitions, outsiders, nay-sayers,
whomever they may be

your dreams of what you believe.

On blackened hair
That hides my face

Searching for bloody marks
That are long gone
