Family

though not blood realtives, they have shown me the true meaning of family

In times of pain,
They do not fail
To make me grin and bear it.
A gentle chide, some mild reproof
And all is in proportion.

They bring peace to me
As we grow and learn
More about life’s tricks together,
And marvel at the things we learn
From simple conversation.

One by one they have come to me
And made me feel a Queen,
With attention paid
And flattery given
Who knew such things gifts could be!

From no hope and much pain
To love constant and true
I have learned the true meaning
Of FAMILY
Unconditional love.
