lesson no. 23- to realise their worth
Quietly i sat, racking my brains
for the work that i have to submit
Deep down in my heart, i'm afraid
because i'm all alone, without any of my family
Every now and then, i would think
of them constantly
Every time the neighbours take out the keys
they jingle and i hear so clearly
I would like to believe, the sound so familiar to be mom's key,
but reality snaps in to make me feel like weeping.
I understand now my love for this family
that i cannot do with any of them missing
They although are flies sometimes
but the truth is that they are butterflies.
Dad's presence sometimes seems transparent,
But at least you feel the vibes.
Brother is quiet in his room of virtuality
But at least i know he's mine.
Mom's clanking of pots and pans
fills the quietness when formers are in their own minds.
