Soul Lights

Family runs deeper than blood,

Blood is given and not earned,

It’s when a heart is given completely,

Open for unimaginable joys,

Or the most horrific pains,

Family is being able to take each other by the hand,

Enduring the most difficult hardships,

Never truly being alone for they are with you in essence,

Strung together by random series of memories,

Finding the very best in one another,

And accepting the worst,

A warning must be made to all life,

Never let the hurts of the past freeze your heart,

Instead lower your guard, leaving yourself vulnerable,

Accept all you meet,

Unfortunately not all will handle your heart with care,

But, there will be those who do,

Cradling you in loving embrace,

Lending the love when it seems like you my drown,

To family, & the ones who accept the love and give their own in return,

You’re the cosmic lights that enrich the soul,

Enshrined in flesh that makes us whole,

Lights come and go, from this life to the next,

The brighter you shine the more you are blessed,

The world is a family, down to the last living creature,

So share the light, such a treasured gift,

That each of us has to offer,

For peace, for life, for the lights, for the future, a heart depleted will I own, until our paths cross,

Until we have shared our light with one another and all others,

….we are family.

Aww, this is really sweet. Not cute, fluffy sweet, but deep and heartfelt, I really liked it. The beginning starts out nicely, but it gets much stronger starting around the middle at ,"Never let the hurts of the past freeze your heart," to the end. I'm sure every family would love this piece, though I don't believe it only pertains to them. Very wonderful, thoughtful piece, nice work!

It is for those whom don't share blood or a last name with us but are just as important. The only difference is we have yet to meet them. As long as you have walls up, you may push away what might be some of the most important, supporting, and loving people in your life. Thank you for the heartfelt review. Much love
