Family
Family
My father;
A plucky sailor that sails
On the ocean of burning jeopardy
Enduring the trauma
Of a crisp and frosty weather
My mother;
Who with her tranquil words
Would penetrate my core
The golden nonpareil
Of beauty, prestige, and modesty
My brother,
Grown but sheepish
As shy as some stray fawn
That seeks its mother
And me,
The blazing sapphire
Of tenderness and fondness
Or maybe an emerald
So yearning and burnish
