MY Family is Forever!

I am not perfect.

I do make mistakes.

I have even been stuck in a mess.

But, you know what, it doesn't matter.

MY family is forever!

I ignore good advice.

I make some bad choices.

I can even be ungrateful.

But, you know what, it doesn't matter.

MY family is forever!

I share my opinions.

I don't always agree.

I may even say something hurtful.

But, you know what, it doesn't matter.

MY family is forever.

No matter who I am.

No matter what I do.

No matter where I go.

No matter how I get there.

No matter when I arrive.

No matter why I left.

It has never really mattered because...

MY family is forever!

This poem is for my family -- my mom, my dad, my big brother, my little brother, my big sister, my grandma and my husband.  You have always been there for me, no matter what.  You have always accepted and loved me for who I am, not what you think I should be.  You have always supported my decisions, even if they weren't the ones you would have made.  You have always stood by my side no matter what.  You have never condemned me because I didn't do what you wanted me to do.  You have never cast me away like I was disposable just because I didn't agree with you.  You have never attempted to manipulate me in any way in order to get what you want.  You have always been a true family to me -- MY forever family that I can always count on.  Thank you!
