We Are Family
We live;
To be the ones who sing and dance.
We love;
And do in variety and kind.
We cry;
In pain but also out of joy.
We envy;
That denied, forbidden us.
We eat;
To fill or just for pleasure's sake.
We speak;
With words but also with an art.
We build;
Creations that define ourselves.
We hunt;
To find the basic truth in us.
We teach;
To set examples for our kind.
We strive;
For better versions of ourselves.
We yearn;
To be or simply not to be.
We believe;
So in dark hours we find hope.
Now some ignore, do fail or will not see;
However complex we evolved to be;
A simple truth refined us naturally;
We are and will remain a family.
