Love is unity, not jealousy


Growing anxiety, scrolling through web history. 

Are the words "I love you" just a mystery?

Jealousy. 

Binding, crippling, destructive. 

Love cannot reside in something so corruptive.

 

It speaks at a chilling volume, 

Booming through households and hearts

Love cannot commune. 

Silent tears act as fiery darts 

while children carry the pain, heavy as a harpoon.

 

Parents teaching generations a principle of healthy love 

when all to be felt is endless jealousy.

Love is something no one is unworthy of

Reflection can help one share love more abundantly.   

 

Example generation, trust their love is true 

Remember the attributes that led you to "I do". 

Love means a family unite to me

It is exemplifying love not by a plea, 

but by a grander measurment by far.

Love for who they are,

and who they are not.
