Whispers of Familial Harmony & Strife


In the hushed whispers of home's tender embrace,

A symphony of moments interlace,

Mum's gentle words urged items to find their place,

Yet my thoughts wandered to a distant face.


Pausing, pondering, the silence did break,

A disturbance from a curious cotton bud's wake,

"Putting cream," I uttered, a tender mistake,

In the quietude, our bond did partake.


Morning unveiled grandma's gift on display,

Bak kwa shared in a familial array,

Yet my portion seemed to drift away,

An unspoken yearning in shadows at play.


Messages relayed, duties conveyed,

In mundane exchanges, emotions swayed,

Tensions flickered, a delicate charade,

In the dance of words, a melody played.


Laughter echoed through the room's still air,

Inquiry met with a tense affair,

Boundaries set, a quiet prayer,

To navigate emotions with tender care.


Languages intertwined, a bridge to build,

Unspoken nuances, emotions filled,

In the depths of conflict, hearts distilled,

Seeking solace in spaces unfilled.


Between the lines, a narrative unfolds,

In everyday exchanges, tales untold,

Emotions intertwine, a delicate mold,

In the symphony of life, stories are told.
