Always there through thick and thin.
Encouraging you to be yourself,
Knows you better than anyone else.
..
No need for you to be on guard,
Here you will never be barred.
No matter how long it has been,
Greeted as if always seen.
..
In your youth it's easy to forget,
Don't do things you may regret.
Both love and hate are at times blind,
Being around family clears your mind.
..
Preventing you from many a vice,
Counsel they give may not be nice.
Advice given is always good,
May take awhile to be understood.
..
No matter what you do or say,
Supporting you always every day.
Don't ever take them for granted,
Their opinion will not be slanted.
..
Love like this you will only find,
When you have a family you call mine.
Time with them is always well spent,
Respect and love are ever present.
..
Joyous memories being debated,
As new ones are being created.
Reminiscing about the past,
Wishing it would forever last.
..
Just remember and never forget,
Unconditional love is what you get.
Always there through thick and thin,
Caring and loving from deep within.
..

than on outward circumstances.
