Family Secrets

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.

Behind closed doors, whispers are heard,

Of family members who have erred,

The things they did that caused disgrace,

That no one dares to speak and face.

But secrets can't remain buried forever,

The truth will find a way to sever,

The bonds that hold them in the dark,

And bring to light what's left a mark.

The weight of family secrets can be heavy,

A burden carried by those unsteady,

Their hearts weighed down by the shame,

Of the deeds done in family name.

But we may decide to break the pattern,

To rise above and reconcile,

To face the truth and make amends,

And find a way to make things mend.

For family secrets need not define us,

Nor the shame that tries to confine us,

With courage and love we can break free,

And embrace the person we're meant to be.

So let's open up the doors of the past,

And find a way to heal at last,

For in the end, what truly matters most,

Is the love and bond that holds us close.

Let's honor the stories of our ancestors,

And learn from their mistakes and failures,

So we may walk a path that's true,

And find the strength to see it through.

For in the end, it's not the secrets we keep,

But the love we give that runs deep,

That binds us all in a family tie,

And gives us wings to touch the sky.

Let's lift the veil and face our fears,

And find the courage to shed our tears,

For in the depths of vulnerability,

We find the strength to set us free.

So let us break the silence and be bold,

To share the stories that need to be told,

For in the sharing, we find release,

And the power to find inner peace.

Let us honor the ties that bind,

And the memories that we will find,

For in the stories of our family tree,

We find the roots of who we're meant to be.

Let us find the courage to break the mold,

And find a way to be truly bold,

For in the end, what matters most,

Is the love and bond that hold us close.

So let us cherish the family we have,

And the memories that make us laugh,

For in the end, what truly remains,

Are the love and ties that never wane.
