Family!

A family is a tree
with its branches and leaves.
Come rain, come shine,
it staggers yet lives.

A family is a body
with its head, hands and fingers.
In sickness or in health,
it shivers and lingers.

A family is a world
with its inhabitants, lands and tides.
In pressure and turmoils,
it quakes but abides.

A family is you and I
engulfed in love.
Come what may,
we soar like a dove!

Features of the Future

I'm closer to the future
Than I was yesterday.
The highway of the future
Is in each break of day.
I frame my future
By the decisions I make.
I encounter the future
If diligent steps I take.
Plans for the future
I made in the past.
Today I face the future
Yet it won't last.
Depending on the future
Is so inefficient.
Because the so-called future
Is vague and transcient!
'you'll live well in the future
if the present is well lived! ! '
