Amidst the chaos and the noise, The world today is a daunting place. Filled with hate, anger, and destruction, It's hard to find a smiling face.

Deep in the crevices of family roots, Lies secrets kept and hidden from view, Unspoken tales of pain and strife, That shape the story of our life.
In the quiet of the night, When the stars are shining bright, I think about my parents, And the lessons they taught right.
The roots of our family run deep, Tangled up in memories we keep. Each year we come together, Sharing stories that last forever.
The ties that bind us are not made of steel, But they are as strong as any fortress real, They're made of love, trust, and shared memories,
In memories of childhood, Lies a world that was once so good, Where innocence and wonder reigned, And the world was a place that never strained.
It takes a certain kind of courage, To leap into the unknown, To venture out, beyond the edge, And make a new world your own.
We live in a world of routines and habits, A place where the known is safe, and the new is a rabbit, We take comfort in what we know and do,
In life, we're faced with choices each day, Paths to take, and risks to weigh, But to truly live, we must learn to dare,
To risk it all for love is a daring feat, An adventure that's thrilling, yet bittersweet, For love can be both a blessing and a curse,
It takes a leap of faith to chase our dreams, To take the path less traveled, or so it seems, Risk is the name of the game we play,
