For Self And Family Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

For Self And Family

I think of love
How it is the glue that sticks us together
I think of love
How it is the string tying us to people
We are not bound to by blood

I think of love
How it is like the sun
Thawing every frozen heart
Bringing all who are dead inside
Back to life

I think of love
How it washes all the bad away
You look through it
And see the best in everyone
And the best in life

I think of love
How I need more of it
How it keeps on growing
But never becomes a burden
