THE TIES THAT BIND

Family, the ones who know us best,

The ones who stand with us, through life's every test.

A bond that lasts forever, through thick and thin,

A love that shines brighter, than the sun within.

They're there for us, in joy and in sorrow,

Through all of life's ups and downs, they'll be here tomorrow.

With open arms, and a listening ear,

A shoulder to cry on, and wipe away the tear.

For family is more than blood, it's a bond of the heart,

A connection that lasts, right from the very start.

It's laughter and memories, and all the love we share,

It's the people who matter, and who are always there.

So let's cherish our family, and hold them close each day,

And thank the stars above, for the love they bring our way.

For they are the ones who shape us, and make us who we are,

And hold a special place, in the depths of our hearts.
