Be Grateful For What You Have

F Is for Family standing together, Through Thick and thin for now and forever. There for each other no matter what, This is more than some people have ever got. A is for Appreciation - though usually not expressed, We are often too involved in our own interests. To show that you care never really takes too long, We can show it by writing a wrong. M stands for memories that we share, The smiles, laughter and trouble if we dare. This is the backbone to our family history, Often dissolves any sad or unhappy mystery. I is the Insight offered by the elders - knowing and wise, They help young children to open their eyes. They've been there before - know how it's started, So listen carefully to the wisdom that is imparted. L is the Love that is given - mostly unsaid, This is what helps chase away insecurities and dread. To tell your family you love them takes three little words, Give a hug or kiss to keep them assured. Y is the Youth - they carry the name through, They'll remind the next generation of you. Never withhold what you learn - it's better off shared, Especially with the next generation who know you cared.
