limbs

i love my family like the sun loves the blue sky
the concrete loves the shine
the way the night loves shadow
my nephew longs for tomorrows
inside of me my sister echos
my tribe beckoning me to follow
i love my family like the tree outside my window loves the earth
the ever constant reminder of one's worth
the way my brothers love each other
bound together forever
i love my family for the cloud they stand on
my father, every time i look down, my hand's they come from
my mother every time i look up
i can only hope i can fill this cup as much as she
i love my family the way the heart loves one single beat
they make my life complete
from my cousins to my niece
imbedded friends to these knees
they're like my limbs
i love my family
like melody loves hymns
