Family is the tie that binds
throught the hopeless,
loneliest,
harshest of times.
Our lives, though parted
by an earthen sea
you're all forever a part of me
When tears I shed
at hardships anew
my heart uplifts
with thoughts of you
I thank the lord
the blessing he gave
the family I love
the memories I save
Always remember
through lifes hardships and pain
I'll love you all
forever
until the last day I remain.
