Family dynamics can keep evolving

Step families are a tricky proposition. But with love, compassion and kindness, we can overcome challenges. 

Family dynamics can keep evolving 
By Michelle Morris

I love your father
And he's the love of my life
I may not be your mother
But I love you like you're mine

I am going to love you
No matter how you feel
No matter what you say or do
My emotions are deep and real

Like soft petals that touch your cheek
Like sunshine on calm waters clear 
Like soft puppies and kittens cute
Like the memories we hold dear

In this life we don't always choose
The family that joins our home 
But we can make the best of it
Be kindness and respect in tone

On this journey filled with surprises
Like a roller coaster that keeps us thrilled 
Family dynamics can keep evolving 
Blessings and grace and goodwill 

So, I will love your father
And embrace you as my own
Because we are one clan united
Love and happiness our home
