My Family

“Family comes first” 

My Dad always explains to me

So family oriented I submersed 

I knew everyone on my family tree 


In the morning, I awoke

Filling the cars like bears    

Racing my cousins, we joked 

Forever ignoring our parents’ glares


In the afternoon, we went out 

Seating 20 to one big table 

My family was seen throughout 

Celebrating nothing just cause we were able. 


In the night, everyone began to home  

Driving our gossiping immersed 

I knew I would never be alone

My family always came first.

Growing up, I always knew that my family came first. At the time it was blood that made family, but as I grew my definition grew.
