FAMILY UNITY
Individual flowers
In flamboyant bouquet
Distinctive blossoms
Gathered to each other;
Fragments of fragrances
Focused to a single scent,
Slender stems strengthened
Into one firm stalk,
Yet this remains a tulip
And that
A hollyhock
So are we
Of variegated personality,
My delicate tint intensified
Against your vivid hue.
We complement each other,
Yet I am I
And you still you.
We, whose single strengths
Are of tender fragility
May become a solid force
Through family unity.
