Family

Such are the ties that bind us 

Brought together by blood 

Loving each other just a plus

Together surviving life’s floods

Sometimes in family emotions run deep

And we don’t always get along

But family is what you want to keep

Them right or be them wrong

Knowing each other and loving still 

Is what a family must do

For with kinship life gets real

Honest, forthright and true

So, even though you may not like them

Love your family with your all

Each member a true gem

In need, you can always call

Count on your family… 

   They won’t let you down
