What is family?

The following is a poem I composed for a Talent Challenge series on my extended family's WhatsApp group. Archana insisted I try something outside my comfort zone, hence here is my very first attempt at poetry.

What is family, but good times and cheer,
What is family, but support far or near;

What is family, but memories set in song,
What is family, but friends that come along;

What is family, but a shoulder to cry on,
What is family, but getting your urulai fry-on;

What is family, but comfort always on call,
What is family, but Deepavali presents for all;

What is family, but trips to near and abroad,
What is family, but amazing performers to applaud;

What is family, but summers playing cricket,
What is family, but begging for the last Rajini ticket;

What is family, but shared joys and heartbreaks,
What is family, but celebrations with candy & cakes;

What is family, but a fresh filter coffee brew,
What is family, but Bala the next challenge is for you!
