Word 15 Family

Word 15:  Family

 

Family to me is unconventional

Family to me is love,

 compassion and caring

There to hold me up when I fall

Here to celebrate triumps

Stand by my side

Through everything and it all

Given to me

I give in return

It doesn't matter

Age

Color

Gender

Sexuality

Culture

or

Creed

Unconventional

Doesn't feel right for a word

I will choose

My expanded family

Those I hold dear

Over anything on paper

Except for Five

My mother, My brother

My husband

My daughter and My son

I will choose

My expanded family

Those I hold dear

Over your prejudice, hatred and fear

Every home has two doors

Just like my heart

Those of Love

Come through the front door

Those that don't fit

Are kicked out the rear

Family to me

Is the rest of you!
