Family Tides Poem by Matthew Holloway

You can chose your friends
But you can't choose these
Families are bounded
By blood and name
Ask the question
Would you have it any other way

The differences in politics
In the way you live
A friendship, wound not make
But this continues
And in spite of all
Refuses to yield
Family stands tall

It's never perfect
But it can't be beaten
That union we feel
Brother, Sister, Cousin
Parent or other
Nothing comes close

Family is something
We all should love
And be loved by
