Family That Is Given


I'll follow my brother's footsteps,

even though I can barely walk on my own.

Mimic my mother's words,

so that I can teach my children her valuable lessons.

Sing songs of joy and love like my father did,

because those will my requiems.

Hold quick to promises made,

and remember them to the end.
