Family First Poem by Bonnie B Long

Family First

Rating: 4.5


Friends may come and friends may go
Family is first and this I know
Putting friends first is a mistake
And not one that you should make

Family’s forever and this I know
Friends enter your life and then they go
Making friends is fun trust me with this
But not something you would miss

Love your family while they are here
Keep their love very near
Family can leave the world at any time
So don’t make yourself feel like slime

Family is here to comfort you
I know your friends do this too
Without your family you would be lost
Hold on to them no matter the cost

Remembering the importance to consider family as itself and friendship is another.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.... I agree with you, we should really make our family a priority because when all else fail, its where you will come back... when friends turn their back on you, your family will always be there to support you.
