My family is like everyone else’s.
My family is crazy, fun, weird.
My family is like a roller coaster,
With their ups and downs,
On a continuous journey,
With love and hate,
Sadness and happiness,

My family is kind but caring.
My family’s forgiving to all,
You lose the trust, you gain it back.
My family is country and city,
From hunting to fishing,
To shopping and nails.

My family is forever growing.
My family is a family,
My we be mis-fits or outcasts,
We are still one big family.
My family differs in ages,
From babies to adults,
Ages ranging from 6 to 30,
But still one of a kind.

My family is as big as the Brady Bunch.
MY family is 13 and counting.
My family’s from many families,
Where ones abandoned, or forgot,
Ones left to fend for ourselves,
Were ones abused, and left for dead,
But through it all we made a family.

My family’s raised by a wonderful woman,
She’s single but does a wonderful job,
She took us in, all 13.
My family has formed day-by-day.
My family’s seen the bad and good.
My family is my family,
And I wouldn't change that for the world.
