Book 1: Yeng Verse-006

The Family and a Vision of Love

I am a human being
I am an offspring -
An offspring of love
Of my parent's love
They showed me the way
They taught me to pray

My mother gave birth to three
The first one is me,
The other is Harley
And the third one is Audrey
We love each other
We care for one another

We may not be a perfect family
My parent's marriage may not be heavenly
But we are happy -
A very happy family
A family of love and care
A family that loves and cares.
