A mom in your corner when times are bad, <br />a sister to call when you’re feeling sad, <br />being a friend when your brother has a breakup, <br />a bear hug from your dad when you kiss and makeup. <br /> <br />Helping your aunts with the pies and cakes, <br />eating at the table with your cousins on holidays, <br />groovin’ to the sounds of R & B, <br />or all the guys watching the games on TV. <br /> <br />All the kids in the basement playing together <br />or in the backyard depending on the weather. <br />laughing and screaming in all their fun, <br />precious moments you take for granted <br />when you’re young. <br /> <br />Grandma and grandpa enjoying the scenes <br />of family eating, playing cards or watching the games. <br />Reminiscing on many years long gone <br />of other relatives and friends that have passed on. <br />Taking pictures for our future generations to see <br />as evidence of our family unity.<br /><br />Cassandra Boyd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/family-unity/
