Family is... <br />The foundation of the human race; <br />Where matrimony is long lived; <br />Where holiness and piety prevail, <br />And bond of love mimics the Holy Family. <br /> <br />Family is... <br />A divine member of body of Christ; <br />A lovely home of togetherness; <br />A simple way to pray with success; <br />A unit of virtues of every kind. <br /> <br />Family is... <br />One where carnal ties have turned divine; <br />Where forgiveness is often rife; <br />Where harmony is binding souls, <br />That walk the road to heaven with goals. <br /> <br />Family is... <br />One where sacrifice and toil are boundless; <br />Where sharing of all things happen; <br />Where all are concerned about the next; <br />Where heaven and haven blend in style.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/family-is-2/
