Family

It’s more than a bloodlineIt’s more than a kinshipIt’s more than the people in your houseIt’s more than a relationship that you hold close to your heart It’s the people you want in your lifeit’s the people that you would take a bullet forit’s the people who matter most to youit’s the people who you consider to be yours They don’t have to live with youThey don’t have to be your parentsthey don’t have to be in love with youthey don’t have to be your best friend they do fight youthey do annoy youthey do get on your nervesbut that’s why they’re there  They are there to make you laughthey are there to make you thinkthey are there to provide a shoulder to cry onbut most importantly they are there for you so keep them closedon’t brandish themdon’t damage themdon’t take them for granted you only have one real onewho are you going to give the honor to?
