Family

Family to me means those people who you go to when you need to cry.

They don't ask questions or persist to know the reason why.

Family to me means someone who looks at you with love.

They don't look to see what they can find to complain of.

Family is those people you know will be there when you need them.

They won't find an excuse why they can't but expect you to be there for them.

Family accepts the good and the bad about those they love.

They know that there may be a day when their loved one is taken above.

Family isn't the ones who sit around and try to find fault with others.

They are there to find ways to help and accept when it’s time to get together.

Family is those who love you with no conditions or exceptions.

They will love you through all the good times and misfortunes.

Family to me accept you as you are and do not sit in judgment of you.

They put their personal opinions aside and try to be there to support you.

Family to me means those who love you every day,

No matter what you have done or what you might say.
