Calm This Roaring Ocean

I never meant to hurt them
  They are my family
But I cannot determine what
  These people want from me

Why do they get so jealous
  And value only pride
When all this time I tried to show
  That I am on their side

Because I only love them
  I thusly ask them hence:
Stop accusing me unjustly
  Use your common sense

I agree with Derrick. This is straight to the point. Maybe you should sit them down and talk to them. Surely your family members know what a treasure they have in you. (you have mail) Love to you! Carolyn
