Family
Family
Reflections on what family means to me. Written from 2011 to 2012.
Looks like going to the beach in a family reunion on a hot, summer day at a hotel, the family occupying 3 hallways or a floor, or in a house.
Smells like a Filipino feast cooking in the kitchen.
Tastes like a mixture of rice and taro leaves.
Some chocolate cake, too!
Feels like going on a trip with my cousins
or finally hugging Grandma.
Sounds like laughter and playing.
Family is like
a warm embrace
all around.
Like a warm ray
of sunshine
pouring down.
As I look,
a mixture of
happy colors
pour down over
my face.
Like people
around you,
lifting
you up.
