They make you laugh

Then they hurt or annoy you

They “borrow” and break your things,

But would give you the world in a heartbeat

They defend you ferociously but will correct you when you’re wrong, even from across the globe

There is nothing they won’t do for you but sometimes they want way too much from you

Endless laughter keeps us going, even when it seems the world is against us

Anger between us is only temporary because the love we have for each other is never ending

My home, my heart, my friends, my blood, my family

I love you all way too much

And these are my final thoughts on Love from Africa
