Taking the gauntlet of support... a
Reaching out when others turn away... b
Reconciling differences of rage c
With words unspoken, just a look, d
A touch, a feeling, an embrace. e
Lives that intertwine like lace, e
Whose history could fill a book d
With pictured stories on each page c
That fade with age to shades of
gray b
In vague statistical reports. a
Families are made to give; f
Conception itself a gift of life g
To an unsuspecting innocent child h
To be nurtured and coddled until
the day i
It can stand and walk and run on it's
own, j
And decide for itself it is
fully-grown. j
But even as we make our way, i
And stumble, falter and trek
through the wild, h
Family pulls us through all the
strife, g
Feeding the sustenance needed to
live. f
