To many words to express

My family is like candy
So dandy and humble
If I need to rumble on about my problems
They are right there to help me through it
Families should be tightly knitted together
Like a sweater
Through thick and thin
You feel so good when they are yelling you on
Good job! After scoring a goal at your soccer game
When you sit together at dinner
You can hear the excitement in your voices
You almost sound like birds
Singing a beautiful harmony or a church choir
Don’t ever take them for granted
I promise you will long for them back
My family is so many words to express
The one that sticks out the most to me is
Loving!!!!

My family means the world to me. They love me, and accept me no matter what. Without them, I don’t know what I would do.

My mom is my hero. She knows how to make me laugh whenever I am sad. She is the nicest person in the world! She is always loving. Even when she’s in a hurry, she still has the time to tell me she loves me. I don’t think I’ll ever be as good as my mom.

My grandma is really patient. She had twelve kids, so that must make her patient. She is also very giving. Even if she doesn’t have much money, she finds a way to buy me something. I also think she is a strong woman. Out of her twelve kids, two of them died.

That, I think, makes her strong.

My little brother is very funny. He always knows what to do to make me feel better. He is very nice. He is always hugging me! He is also very energetic; I can always have fun with him.

I’m proud of being part of the family. I love my family, and I know they will always love me.

The Most Important Thing to Me

They catch me if I fall
without me even having to call
They drive me crazy that is true
but without them I wouldn’t know what to do
they love me mistakes and all
and beacuse of that I am able to stand tall
They have scared away the endless night
so I can now see the world can be bright
I know that they are near
because I cannot shed a single tear
I see their love shine
and it’s great knowing that it’s all mine
So I guess I would have to agree
that the most important thing to me
will always be my family
