To be a Family

To love and be loved,

so you know that someone cares.

To trust and be trusted,

no more nightmares.

To have the pressure melt away,

so you can stand another day.

To care so much,

but their hearts you can't touch

To look to tomorrow

with an open heart

To feel so hollow

And not depart.

Is to love a family

So close to your heart

Only to be torn

Forever and ever

apart.
