Family Of Ten

Worthy of warring from sunset to dawn
Or the yellow coverings we obtain?
Worth living technologic’lly foregone;
And living life with a money constraint?
The food that we eat is cherished greatly.
And we know not when we will meet again.
Living through the tribulations lately;
Is life worth living when there’s only pain?
As books need words we need one another.
There’s never a shortage of love and care,
For it is provided with each other.
To feel bliss must you be a millionaire?
And yet it is certainly worth it when
You’re living with a family of ten.

What inspired me to write this poem was my family. I have ten brothers and sisters and somtimes times are tough, but overall it all works out for the better and i just wanted to express this in a poem.
