Family Poem by Jim Yerman

How does one define family...with each one as assorted as the birds?
It would take countless authors and perhaps a million words...

For each family writes it's own story...an adventure, in it's own way...divine
Filled with joy and sorrow, laughter and tears...as the characters intertwine.

How does one define family...with each note as different as the trees?
It would take an endless amount of composers...writing infinite symphonies.

For each family writes its own music...a forever changing melody
That despite it's varied notes and styles...creates a harmony.

Perhaps the best way to define family...is to say it's constantly transcending...
It's story...never finished...it's music...never ending.
