The Godfather: Lessons Learned

National Poetry Month Daily Challenge: Favorite Movie

Khara E. House
My speak softly love, you break my heart into
shards of black and white. You teach me
the lessons I must learn-- about life,
and love, and loyalty. That the only ones
held closer than friends
are enemies-
To always put family first,
And to never forget the cannoli.

But the lesson I treasure-the lesson I keep
Is knowing you can lose it all:
Your allies, your business, your sense
Of reason-
But you can never lose your family. Mai.
