FAMILY IS FOREVER
Family is forever
Like a bird and its feathers,
Mum, Dad, Sisters, Brothers
Come together with one another.

Dad can cook, Mum can clean
The best parents you’ve ever seen,
Brothers are tigers ready to bite
Sisters like wild gladiators ready to fight.

I am stuck in the middle
I’ve always been there,
With brothers and sisters
Pulling on my hair.

I’ve always loved them
And that’s no doubt,
But unfortunately, sometimes
I just have to shout.

My anger is a raindrop
That goes a quickly as it comes,
I love my brothers, sisters, and dad
And I can’t forget my mum.
