WHAT IS A FAMILY?

What is a family, you ask?

They are the people that stand beside you,
When the rest of the world turns away;
They are the ones who pick up the pieces
When broken and discouraged you lay.

What is a family, I'll tell you
That they are the ones who are strong;
Who don't give you up or leave you
When everything seems to go wrong.

What is a family, I wonder,
That makes them stand by your side?
Blood is much thicker than water;
They are not just along for the ride.

A family will help you stand taller
And face whatever comes your way;
They may need your help tomorrow
But they can give it to you today.

What is a family, don't ask me
Or I probably will tell you then,
That it's God's way of helping you
Trust in His goodness again.
