Life of love
By: Flora Salimi
When you first opened your eyes
You saw your family
When you began to talk
When You began to walk
They taught you
Family loves you
They forgive you
They inspire you
Crack open the door
Oh, family is waiting for you
Tick tock tick tock
Time is ticking
Go spend your time
In their warm embrace
When they’re gone
You will never reach the same world of happiness
you are alone
so, spend your time
In their warm embrace
Before you breathe your final sigh
When you’re sick
They stay up late
To see how you are
Without thinking of themselves
They sing the song
They are strong
Family means everything
Family means you own the world
Family means happiness
Family means loving each other
No matter how great you are
No matter how many losses you take
Love is as boundless as a vast lake
Many times, you’ve been broke
Every second when you stroke
Family will always be here
And our family will always be there
Tell me what family means to you
Is it all the little special things one another do
Or is it the bond that one another has
Maybe it’s the love from one generation to another
Family is more than a six-letter word
It is a word that often needs to be heard
Family is more than relatives -they are friends
Friend that will stick with you to the very, very end
A family bond is stronger than ever
Because it can overcome any stormy weather
A family stands tall no matter how hard they fall
Uniting as one with their backs against the wall
That is simply what a family does
Helping you become a better you
So when you think about the word family
Think beyond just the background history
When you think of your family
You become more strong
More powerful
Doesn’t matter how much money you have
No matter the size of your house
No matter how many people you can buy
But can you buy a family?
Like they say an empty house is not a home
And a true faithful family never stands alone
When you feel depressed
When you are hopeless
Go home
Crack, open the door
Oh, family is waiting for you
two things that I’m proud of :
I used poetic devises like Imagery, simile, metaphor, and I’m glad that I made eye contact with the audience.
two that I have to improve next year:
Next time I have to improve my speech speed, and I need to memorize my spoken word.
obstacles I encounter and how I solve them:
I decided to write about the importance of the family. I was so nervous because I thought I couldn’t make it and that’s going to be to short, but then I decided to write things that I know about my family and then I add them all together.
And it was lovely. Your family seems to be really special to you.
Yes, thank you
