Family Ties

Families come in many styles
But one can never choose
The family you'll be born to
It's a game of win or lose

Families come in many sizes
From small to large they'll range
Some will be close at hand
While others become estrange

Families come in many forms
From poor to filthy rich
Some work hard for many years
While others end up in a ditch

Families come from different times
Some are worlds apart
Some can't leave the past behind
While others will restart

Families come and families go
Blood is thinned by water
A mothers love will never end
For that of her only daughter
