My Family

We are united
And we make sure to be supporting arms for each other.
They make mistakes
But they are just human.
Without them, what am I?
Kind or vindictive
Smart or foolish
It doesn't matter
We are family.
We forgive but we don't forget
We laugh and we cry
We dance and we celebrate
We mourn loss 
We accept the quickness time.
Without one another
Sanity will untie from from our minds
And we will not tolerate burdens.
But since we have one another,
We will always have each other in our minds and our hearts.
