Family

Your born to a family
You do not have a choice
It is something given to you

You always have a mom and dad
Sometimes not good ones
And sometimes the best

Sometimes there maybe just be a mom
Sometimes just a dad
Sometimes a brother or sister

Yet regardless
Of who they are
They are your family

You learn to make the most of it
You spend each day
growing and learning from them

Maybe that is a mom or dad
or even a grandma or grandpa
but everyone around us helps us to grow

Then one day down the road
Your own child is born
Again something given to you

Not to abuse or beat
But to love and cherish
and to help grow and learn in their own journey

You do your very best
Sometimes it may not seem good enough
Yet each day you still try

Yet along that journey
Each child born does grow
and becomes
a man
or a woman.
