Love Upholds

Both you and Ma are looking sad
what transpired between you two only
you know. But wait, have you two been
separated by shores, deserts and the seas?
Has Pa come between you two, so that you
are missing ( each other), lonely?
Take a book read. Say Hi to Mama and each other
even if barriers, homes and countries have unleashed
trauma of separation. Come, once smile in each other's arms.
The world is not always a rascal. See light. Hope. You are entwined like branches of a tree spreading forth. Love upholds.
