The Fam


From the moment of my birth

My first everything was with the fam

My ma and pa, my first teachers

What do you mean to me?

I got my morals from you

And so much love to share with the world

Is it possible to repay you for the things you've done for me?

Thank you but is that enough

No, not even a novel is enough

But let this show you my love and gratitude

You've taught me everything I know

You've sacrificed your lives to put me where I am

The skies aren't great enough, the oceans deep enough

But don't worry

I know you love me

I know you care for me

Cause you were my first teacher

You are My Fam
