The Heart of My Family

My mother, so innocent, gentle and kind, Her heart a sanctuary, a peace I find. In her eyes, the world feels soft, Her love, a shield that lifts me aloft. My father, strict yet full of grace, A steady hand, a guiding trace. His strength supports me through it all, A quiet force when I stumble or fall. My elder sister, thoughtful and wise, Her mind a maze, where questions rise. She feels deeply, yet stands so tall, Her care, a safety net when I call. My younger brother, a dream on the field, In every sport, his energy is real. A best friend who knows me best, In every victory, and in each test. And then there’s me, Sahil, far from home, In every step, I sometimes roam. But love binds me, no matter the space, For my family’s touch is my resting place.
