''Family'' Poem by Alisha Hodges

A family stands together in unity. No storm should be too much for them to weather. It's through our mother we have been united together. Love conquers all. Even when we have allowed relationships to fall. It's in our memories of our past, that through unity, love, and strength from our mother why our bond will always last. Through hurt, discord, and pain. Let us vow to allow unity and love to reign. Within our family forget about past hurts, accusations, and shame. Allow the generation of your family name to forever remain.
