Family

you can pick your friends but not your family 
that sentiment is most true
but when it really comes down to it
family will always come through
be it a younger sister or an older brother
no matter the dynamics you still love one another

sibling rivalry and personality competition
wanting our share of mom and dad's attention
you might not like them, but you love them
and will always have each others back
as blood will always be thicker than water
you'll fight as one in times of attack

family, the deepest roots and extended branches
of the oldest tree
all for one and one for all
the ways it's suppose to be
