“Family is family. Family never ends.”
What is Family?
Is it a place? Does it come easier to some than others?
Does it come in a group like a band of brothers or does it come in one single form?
Family…
No, it isn’t a place
It’s a feeling
We have it, no matter your race
Yeah, that’s it
It’s that feeling you get when you’re with great friends
The type of friends who always have your back, no matter what

Family is great!
That’s why
“It’s family first and family last...Seriously.”
But families can be stressful…
Too stressful
They always nag at you
Complain about what you’re doing wrong
Constantly yell when you mess up
They can be such a**holes
But…
They’re like that so you could do better
Better than they ever could
Better than you ever thought you could
They see the potential in you
And they want what’s best for you
That’s why they always remind you
“Excuses are like a**holes: Everyone has one and they all stink.”
I love them though
It shows that they care
I’ll be great
I’ll be strong
I’ll be wise
Because of what they did for me
Whenever I feel the world is against me
I’ll always have them to turn to
And they’ll help me to grow like a strong oak tree
This feeling I have for them will never suspend
Because
“Family is family. Family never ends.”
