Family

Family starts generations before
Some of whom have served in the war

Some are still here some are gone
But hear this love goes on

Your parents are the first you see
Perched up upon there crooked knee

Then siblings come into the mix
New best friends to pick up sticks

As you get older you meet your lady
And together you then have a baby

This is the start of your own tree
As you sit your baby next to thee

Tenderness love and understanding
Will give your children a good grounding 

Love your children though everything
Even when they do sin

They are yours you can't deny
Give them love before they fly

It will help them in the end
The meaning of family is our best friends
