The Shades of Love



I observe love in  many shapes and colors,
encompassing me all around,
expanding and flourishing,
like vibrant blooms in the season of spring
A mother's love for her children,
regardless of the stage of life, they are in
A father's love that runs deep,
although he may not let it show
The bond of brotherhood or sisterhood,
sometimes quarrelsome, sometimes joyous!
Yet in the end, they are the ones who look out for you,
lending a hand when you're in need
Family love, then, is the sweetest of all,
the shades of love!
An immeasurable beauty!
An infinite treasure!
