What is family, some might ask?
But we all know it’s just a mask.
To cover up what we truly feel, we can’t change what is real.
Though we show hate, in different ways we will always relate,
The blood, the bond.
The importance of family is beyond.
It isn’t something we should treat as stressing, but rather as a sacred blessing.
They are there through thick and thin; brother, sister or a twin.
We shouldn’t take them for granted, the power of family is enchanted.
They will be there to share joy, family is something you can’t destroy.
They are that special someone who we always love, cause family love always comes above.
And when we see them get hurt, it's like being buried under dirt.
We can’t bare to see them in pain, cause double that is what we gain.
It is the thing we will fight hardest for, the strongest part is in the core.
They will always be there whenever you need, you will never have to plead.
Either right there or in our heart, but they will never truly be apart.
