They are my family

Inspired by family dynamics. May you be blessed with good ones.

They are my family 
By Michelle Morris

They are my blood
They are my bone
They are the hearts 
I've always known 

They are the good
They are the bad 
They are the happy 
They are the sad

They are my hurt
They are my pain
They are the ones 
Who create shame

They are confusion 
They are the risk 
They are foundation 
They are the shift 

They are my hearth 
They are my home
They are my joy
They are my glow 

They are my family 
For better or worse 
They are love and light 
They are hate and curses

They can drive you crazy 
They can make life hell
They can save your life 
Create wishes and spells

So, remember your blood
Your marrow and bone
When family works well 
They'll forever be home
