Family 1/03

Family is as family does
One is given from up above.
For some the family received at birth
becomes the center of their universe.
Others from these families are split,
and often they can’t undrstand the why of it.

Other families are also given
To those who take the time to try.
Not families of blood, but families of tears
Brought together overtime because of willing ears.

The second families can become
Stronger than some families of blood,
Often forgiving mistakes that are made
Keeping an open mind even when trust is mislaid.
Binding close together when all dues are paid.
Brothers and sisters hard times have made.
