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.
