The Essence of Family

Blessed are those who can with confidence proclaim the existence of their family
Grace follows those who true to their conscience are sensitive about the unit’s needs
Clouded is the vision when one ignores each other’s existence
Heartless is the emotion on display when one struts about with only self vanity

The efforts of the parents to instill the right values and rear their children
The efforts of the siblings to adjust in times of need and support their brethren
The efforts of children to willingly accept parent’s reality and trust divinity
The situations when one needs to make time and pledge their cooperation for continued unity

Countless are the moments when one calls upon each other for help and support
Blessed are the soul mates that they are provided an opportunity to regularly connect
Many are the moments when one loses patience with the other
The depth and essence is realized when one understands that blood is thicker than water

Challenges of time and routine may create a physical distance
Blessed are those who forever demonstrate an emotional and mental connect
Many are the moments when one loses control and longs for solitude
Blessed are the ones who recover soon and display love and fortitude

The true challenge is to inculcate the same passion in the next generation
The efforts should always be focused on strengthening the foundation
The associated memories of the past not remaining a nostalgic mystery
The prized moments not consigned as another chapter in history!
