What's The Meaning of Family?

by Liz   Aug 7, 2004


What's the meaning of family,
A group of people related only by blood,
Or people who swarm in one big flood?
Is family those that are there for you,
That help you see it through?
Well, that certainly isn't the meaning of my family.
My relatives don't care,
They act as if we are not there.
My aunt critisizes,
Instead of realizing that we're all different shapes and sizes.
My uncle asks us how we feel about things,
I feel like telling him to go look at old meuseum rings.
My cousins are all annoying,
They're all too busy toying.
What's the meaning of family,
If any at all...
