One. All.

One.  All.

“Families are forever.”  I've heard it said. 
Parents fill their role; lead mankind ahead.
A little bit of Heaven reproaches hell.
Commodities on earth are leading well.

Bickering and striving; becoming the best.
Competitions.  Judgment games.  Beat the rest.
Love one another.  Hunt God.  Pass the test.
Study scripture, love right ways; be God's guest.

While pondering heaven and fellow man,
Plunder not temptations’ unrighteous stands.
“Seek the Lord with all thy heart; choose the right.”
Follow Christ to paradise; gracious sight.

Families are eternal; help heal on earth.
Love and inspiration gives second birth.
Hearts sealed forever by the words of God.
Living together as through life we trod.

Fathers.  Mothers. Brothers. Sisters.  One.  All.
Join hands together; and hear Heaven call.
Banish evil contemplations.  Big.  Small.
Forever open up your hearts.  One.  All.

It is funny that you wrote this poem about families being eternal. Because we are sons and daughters of God. Excellent read. My thoughts were concerning another but this poem helped me focus. A.W. Nutter www.freewebs.com/abcedit
