Family Comes First

Friends will come and friends will go,
But family comes first and this is what I know.
Mum may boss you and nag you at times,
But they only come once in a whole lifetime.
Attention is one of her twenty jobs,
She'll kiss you and cuddle you when you sob.
Now, Dad is the funniest guy out of all of us,
Although he sometimes makes a fuss.
He'll always have you in fits of laughter,
But Dad will always have you looked after.
Your brothers and sisters are agitating but nice,
That's why you should always think twice.
One player games might bore you around,
But with a sibling, those games have been drowned.
As you see, family is important for life,
Even if they sometimes give you strife.
