Family, Now And Forever

How does the moon shine such dark light,
While the sun scatters shine
People will try to do what’s right
But when it comes to me, I’ll build you a shrine.
See, all of this I do for you
And yet you still weep
And yet it makes you want to spew
But for you I feel so deep
My heart belongs to you
My beloved family
Every day you give me something new
Yet we still fall under calamity
To hardships, we will befall
Though we mustn’t let that define us
My love I will install
And my love will not be left in the dust
