Family Matters
December 20, 2015
Family is what matters in life the most.
You don’t choose them they are chosen for you.
You celebrate together with a toast;
they are there to help when you need them to
They are there to comfort you when your sad;
they know all about you inside and out.
When you do something wrong they don’t get mad;
they can get you to laugh and not be sad
You love all of them until their last day;
nothing is the same and you want them back.
Oh, what could you do and what could you pay?
To have them alive in the family pack.
Your family member is gone forever.
But the funny memories are never.
