Embrace

Behold the outings of emotions

effusive chatterings

the often spoken misgivings,

disagreements and growlings.

Toddlers' tantrums tripping

so swiftly off the tongue.

Displays of love and affection,

sullen man walks a distance

behind wife and progeny

hands in pockets,

boredom in neon lights shines

all too brightly from his face.

Parents hanging onto their kids,

children's party gone on too long nerves

are tattered and frayed

swiftly home to rest their weary bones,

work tomorrow.

 

We are the above,

it all belongs to us

is an integral part of us,

please, be aware of yourself and others

embrace who we are,

and the world will be a better place.

Love this poem.
The season of parties and tantrums and gathering in together.
