Kinship

Sisters lost & sisters gained.
Brothers gone & brothers pained.

Children spent & parents paid.
Parents visit children laid.

Mothers broken & mothers healed.
Fathers fighting sword & shield.

Uncles, Aunts & cousins left.
Leaving leaves them all bereft.

Family downs & family ups.
These, empty & fill our cups.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
