The Meaning of Family

Love is a word that means the feeling

of new buds opening in spring

of a ray of sunlight cutting through a wall of clouds

of a gray and rainy day spent inside together around a warm fire

of sitting in the branches of a great tree, shielded in the leafy castle

of golden leaves falling to the crackling carpet underfoot

of your mothers hug

that makes everything okay.
