*FAMILY*

the last few days I've struggeled to find
what the meaning of family is in my eyes.
I know it means more than the blood type of kin
It's standing together through the thick and the thin.
It's lending a shoulder in ones time of need.
laughing thru good times when our members susceed.
Its offering an ear when one needs to talk.
sharing time during lifes giant walk.
Family is a bonding it's a choice that we make.
It's loving the person dispite their mistakes.
Being family aint easy when the pain is at hand
but family trys its best to understand.
a family don't turn its back on the ones that they love.
They hold it together when push comes to shove.
A family seeks shelter in each others hearts.
when the going gets tough a family don't part.
A family is loving, its there til the end.
a bond thats forever thru thick and thru thin.
