My Nearly Perfect Family : A Poem by Lakshmi Ajoy

Unconditional love that proffers protection, my darling mother,
Strong words and authority acting as scaffolding, my revered father,
Safeguarding my interests and tiny antics, my doting sister,
Keeping all secrets and being my biggest defending shield, my fun-loving brother,
Pearls of wisdom and those age old stories, my endearing grandma,
Plethora of morals through virtuous ways, my affable grandpa,
Full of life, giver of love and pursuer of adventures and art, the quintessential me!
A nearly perfect family that blends in the nearly perfect values,
Bridging gaps, creating bonds and crafting joys,
To build a better experience, towards love, life and everything in between…
