Family
We are family,
With different parts, different arts
Different stances, different hearts.
Different functions, different views
Different strengths, of different hues.
Different gifts and aptitudes
Different sizes and attitudes.
Different opinions and different passions
Different childhoods and different fashions.
Different skin, different hair
Different voices and different stares.
Different laughs and different cries
Different anger and different eyes.
Different wealth and different ages
Different minds in different stages.
Different holdings and different power
Are yours and mine and ours.
We are family,
With one life, one season to bloom
One fragrance, one span from the womb.
One “now” one chance to make amends
One mist, one term to cherish friends.
One “carpe diem” (one seize the day)
One chance to grow, one hand to play.
One privileged game, one strategy picking
One time to shine, one game clock ticking.
One unity shared, one harmony sung
One melody hummed, one use of the tongue.
One hand to uplift, one journey we take
One taste you leave, one cake you bake.
One glorious day, one life to bless
One chance every day, one love to finesse.
One hope, one April shower
Is yours and mine and ours.
