I know for experience


What does family mean?

Is a group of people formed by a father, mother and their kid

it’s not only that

family is union, family is care, and they’re always gonna be there

family is definitely love

family is like the air you breath everyday

you cant live without it

 

Tell me 

tell me what will you do without them?

Please, love them and hold them tight, as little kids afraid to mislay their precious teddy bear.

 

Tell me 

Who do you see every morning, every afternoon, every night 

every day…?

 

Mom, dad, brother, sister, cousin, aunty, uncle, friends, your neighbor, teachers, and even that homelessness you see walking down your street

They are all your family, they make up your day - your live

 

Treat them dam good

they don't last long

 

Tell me 

tell me who?

Who showed you to be decent and a respectful person

who showed you how to walk and say your first word

 

Tell me

tell me who?

who gave you a roof to live in

who gives you food to survive

who gave you the enough education to understand this world

who is the person that tolerates all your complains and your shity attitude

 

Tell me

tell me who?

 

There is only one person, that with quite calm tolerates your human being

Your family 

 

Family is the one who raised you up, is the one who took you the first day to school

Family is the one who stayed cold nights with you when you where sick, the one who saw you cry more than once in your room, when you felt unloved or alone.

Family is the one who supports you no matter what, if your wrong or if you’re right, 

Family is always there for you.

 

 

 

How i said family don't last long 

I'm telling you, I know for experience they don't last long like the brightness of our sun that is dying slowly in front of our eyes 

 

 Appreciate them …

 I couldn’t, and my soul feels like a empty space buried deep in my heart because,

 I regret the idea for not being with my family

 I regret the idea not being with them when they most needed

I regret the idea of letting him go away, letting him die alone

I regret the idea that god decided to take him…

 But I'm glad, because I know he toke one part of me, with him.

 

  • Family

 

Im just telling you

 Warning you 

Family does not last long, enjoy them every day, every time, every second. 

One day their gonna decides to fly.

 Fly away.

Away through the air.

Far, far away, 

where the sun meets the sky 

and I'm telling you they never come back.
