A Look Into the Love of a Family
Love is magical and-wait a second,
We often talk about what love is,
What it is “supposed” to look like.
But in the process, the true essence of love Gets lost because we normally do not frequently Talk about what love is not.
Love is not flashy gifts.
Nor is it extravagant family vacations.
And it is definitely not posing for fake,
Seemingly candid photos for the viewing of others.
What love is is a family sitting by a fireplace
Drinking cocoa, and roasting marshmallows.
It is a mom and dad who work tirelessly to provide
For their children and do not expect
Any praise for doing so. It is about enjoying a
Home cooked meal with generations at the same table.
Do not fall into the rabbit hole of picturesque love,
Because love is not always seen,
But it is always felt.
