POEM: Family

The world has infinite treasures
many that can never be measured
but the true value
is in our loved ones
who are our support system
the ones who nurture us
teach us about nature
help us to mature
so that we know
when we need to give more
and when to store up
for a hard time
family helps us to grow
and teaches us most of what we'll
ever know
our loved ones help to shape
us into being the phenomenal
beings that God means for us to be
 - and sometimes we may not see
the good in what they do
but all adults know that it is true
that the elders give good advice
because rearing children
is not only about being nice
it take guts, patience and perseverance
to rear children in the times
we are living in
so be grateful for the loved ones
who have passed on and who are here
because without them
we would have no identity
so cherish your family
and do your best to live in unity
