The Gift of Family

THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN BY MY GREAT NIECE
AND DESERVES AN A7 IN MY OPINION.
SHE IS 12 YEARS OLD AND HER NAME IS GRACE LIN.

If everyone laughed,
If everyone smiled,
If everyone beamed,
They'd have the gift of family.

If everyone was happy,
If everyone was loved,
If everyone was positive,
They'd have the gift of family.

If nobody frowned,
If nobody cried,
If nobody complained,
They'd have the gift of family.

Family:
Is everlasting,
Is powerful,
Is the greatest gift of all.

Kudos to Grace on this perspective of love, life, and importance of family. I hope others will agree with me and give this budding talent the encouragement she deserves.
