Importance Of Family Poem by mona martinez

that time when you take a chance,
and you see what's really important,
family that you wouldn't change in for anything,
no matter how much they get on your nerves,
being stuck with them is not half bad,
they understand you in ways,
others can not,
been through hard times,
and we always make it through,
it might not be the best way,
but we get through it,
we stay by each other,
even when we fight,
we continue to come back,
and settle our differences,
we are a stubborn bunch,
but i'm proud of our mama making us that way,
she raised us to put up with nothing,
not to ever settle for less,
and just to be who we are,
that who we continue to be,
even though she not by my side,
i know she's high in the sky,
looking down and glad at what we became,
because through the gifts and money,
there is no greater gift than,
just being with family,
and enjoying their company.
