How Close Families Are

Families are close in time of need
Some times we pretend to be good and do a good deed,

When times of sorrow come in to our lives
Some how some way we all seem to survive,

Families are close in time of need
It is what we all do and not for greed,

Life is short to waste it away
Embrace it because you may not have another day,

I see loved and friends whom are now in a grave
The thing is we all pretend to be brave,

I realize when I see a head stone of one whom has passed
How close families really are when we realize we are all like precious glass,

So keep your family close
Because in the end it all will come down to a bitter sweet rose.
