What Makes A Team A Family?

What Makes a team a family?

Is it calling them brothers and sisters,
or having they’re back?
Is it giving them props
when they make a sack?

Maybe it’s a thumbs up
for having a good game.
Is a family really
all about the fame?

What makes a team a family?
It’s not criticizing their every move
or having a crisis
just for something to prove.

What makes a team a family?
It’s the passion for one another
the love we all share
give them their own voice
so they know that it is fair

Should not be like a wolf,
only and in the wild.
But a pack on the move
and together we’re proud.

What makes a team a family?
Not the “I love you’s” or we’re “bro’s”
but the compassion for each other
to let everyone grow
