the meaning of family – v2

the meaning of family

not the dictionary but the calling of God

a place of belonging, safe

no matter what we say,

our choices, our struggle

Leaning on our sisters,

our brothers, our cousins

finding a safe place

within our storms

a sanctuary where we can be open

ourselves, unfiltered

with those who know us

but don’t judge us

a place of belonging

for our whole lives
