Family Poem by louis rams

there is nothing as great as can be
than to spend time with family
the love of family makes life worthwhile
they're always there with a good word and smile.

this special bond of family brings us closer to god you see
it makes us thankful for all we have
and all that we can give
to help others so that they can live.

so during the times of celebration and we
make plans of things to do.
let us not forget the one who has given us this day
no one can take that away.

and at this time of year with thanksgiving
and christmas cheer
i thank the lord up above
for my family and their love.

there are so many boys and girls who
have grown up in abusive ties.
that they choose to live a lie.
and tell others that everything was ok
and that with them they would stay.
they have no where that they could go
to escape the aches and pains
and to them life remains the same.

so let us open our hearts and see what we can do
to get them out of their solitude.
let them see what family life should be
without all that misery
give all that you could possibly give
so that these children could live.
