Family

Without them I would be nothing,
Lost in the trivial sea of people.
They make me feel as if I am something
Raising me under the church steeple.

Growing up with them has been a pleasure
That many long to obtain.
Driven along a path to find true treasure,
Family keeps me from going insane.

Love does not come with ease,
Even with those closest to you.
Keep your kin and do not displease
The ones who will always stay true to you.

A lovely tribute to an obviously loving family. I loved the structure, especially the rhyme scheme. I felt it illustrated you embracing your family.
