Family Matters

Over the years there has been heart ache and tears. There have been hills and valleys we have all climbed. Changing in an ever changing land Meet people and listen to the stories the y bring As they share another piece of wisdom to carry on. Face your demons with a vengeance And love the ones who have stayed around. Hold close to your heart all the memories made For sometimes in life friendships fade. Never forget where you came from Always remember where you’re going Don’t look at failing as a loss Know everyone fails at something they want. Gleam with pride over accomplishments made For they are your own success today. Always remember you have a home Where loved ones wait for you to call. Family is everything in this life So grab yours and hold tight.
