Family


The proverb always goes "what goes  up will always  come  down" my father would  say that the truth will always lie in poetry Those  words  became  true  as  i began to be poetic. I was born in a poor  striken family.My mom and Dad was the only family i had.poor as a mouth church,trust me it was never an excuse for the unpleasant things i have done in my life.if you expecting life to treat you better is like saying that the bull won't attack you because you're vegetarian.Right there i knew life was not fair.Even though  i did so many  bad things .my kind  and  loving  family stood by my side  through  the thick  and thin By the  time  i turned  25.My prayers were Answered and i got a job,it was like  God knew that  i never made it to grade  12 because  of the terrible  things  i did  in the  presence  of my friends.Just  when  i thought  life was getting  better.my dad passed away in that cold morning. On that pain caused by that cold morning, In the warmth of my smile i was stuck with the sigh of learning that sometimes i just have to let them fly,Up in the sky. Tears are  shed When  reality reminds  me That  he faded.  I know  he   wanted  to stay  for a little  while.I know because  he  told  me that he will  never  leave  us But his   heart  wanted  to rest or perhaps  he was waiting  for  the day i was willing  to change.And when  i did  he disappeared.Since my dad passed  away.I always observe my mom when she grows old.deep down i keep saying  to myself,Life  in this  lonely  world can be such a   mess.Waking  up every  morning Feeling lonely  and  lost The  thought That  we are  guests,how  our days  are numbered.All in the  same queue.Queueing for a present ,Death inside  the  box .The  best leading  the queue And  the worst at the back.Life  can be such  a mess.Now my mom cannot  even recognise me.I'm  all alone I'm living in a world with no head or tail.it is a house built with a smile,but within it is a sigh no eye ever saw,hunger always awaken the pain.I'm living in a glass,who am i to cast stones?Death is just a word that is better left unsaid.It keeps  destroying  my families.i will build a house with  joy when  i finally meet  my own family.At least i know  that  family  is  important . Because   i miss that  kind and loving family  i had.While you  have one keep them close and never  let them go.Blood is thicker  than water
