I Love My Family

I'm just trying to say the things I never could
Leaving it inside has done me no good.
Out of my mind and on to this paper
Various emotional edges I've had to taper.
Each and everyone I never said out loud
My mind protects me, I could never be in a crowd.
You're the reason I am still here
Families love is warmer than any fur.
A good person I have never been
My anger was all to be seen.
I love you all I want it to be said
Love shouldn't be like ice, where softly you tread
You say what you need to and family's better than sliced bread.

Yes it is, Bleddyn - better than sliced bread. You'll never regret saying "I love you," but you will regret not saying it.
