In the living room, they would twirl.

STANZA 4

Remember that your family

Can be the same way too,

Just trust and love each other

And share each others thoughts.

Because you need your family

To communicate a lot.

From the 4th stanza let's understand that

The poetess is telling the reader that our own family can be the happiest family if

• we trust and love each other
• we tell each other what is in our mind. One word for this is communicate.

Nobody can read what is in our mind so if we want a happy relationship we need to communicate / tell what is in our mind to avoid misunderstandings.She also tells us how many times should we communicate. a lot is the answer.
