I am

I am... my son, 
who shines my lights so brightly,
who defends my side knightly.

I am... my daughter, 
who shares my cares silently,
who keeps my secrets quietly.

I am... my grandson, 
who keeps my life living lively,
who won't even let me sit idly. 

I am... my granddaughter, 
who hugs me very tightly,
who holds my hand so slightly.

I am... my parents, 
who raised me ever so rightly,
who sacrificed politely.

I am... my God,
who is the best inside of me,
who gives me love eternally.

I am... my family!
My family... I am!
