My Family

Family is such a funny thing.
They make you laugh, cry, and sing.

Mine is no different than any other.
They tend to leave you be or smother.

There are days full of drama,
And other days we gossip in the sauna.

There is always someone stabbing you in the back,
And someone else wanting to be the leader of the pack.

We are who we are.
Each of us a shining star.

If something is said by someone not a member,
The rest of us will surely dismember.

Protective I am so clearly,
Of those I love very dearly.

Good or bad,come what may.
This is my family I dare say.

Family members are often protective of the ones they love, Kristy. They can surely make us laugh and cry, but we love them "Good or bad, come what may." A loving tribute to your family. Very nice writing!
