Family

{A Poem} 

Family.

Family is when love flows

and everybody knows

'cause your love for each other shows

It doesn't matter where your from

or what color you are 

Family is when love flows

and everybody knows

'cause your love for each other shows

It may be hard

but it can be fun

so just push on

until this day is done

Family is when love flows

and everybody knows

'cause your love for each other shows

You may be from Mexico, Russia or Ghana 

or even from the city of Hosaena

Family is when love flows

and everybody knows

'cause your love for each other shows

Some may gawk and some may stare

but they shouldn't care

it doesn't matter what you wear

or how you look 'cause

Family is when love flows

and everybody knows

'cause your love for each other shows

You may be black or you may be white

but it doesn't matter cause family is family no matter what!

Family is when love flows

and everybody knows

'cause your love for each other shows
