Every family has its ups,

Every family has its downs,

Every family has its smiles,

Every family has its frowns.

Every family has its sunshine,

Every family has its rain,

Every family has its happy,

Every family has its pain.

Every family has its unity,

Every family has its desolation,

Every family has its consecrating,

Every family has its decimation.

Every family has its warm summer days,

Every family has its cold winter nights,

Every family has its fun in the sun,

Every family has its tear-jerking fights.

Every family has its unique attributes,

Every family has its areas of weakness,

Every family has its cherished memories,

Every family has its bleakness.

Every family has its faults,

Every family has its secret vaults,

Every family has each other,

Mother, Father, Brother, Brother.
