FAMILY

Some people say the family is dead; as an institution you can close the book.

I say the family has never been better…you just have to know how to look.

A Mom and Dad and their children we were brought up to agree

Is the make-up of your normal, typical, yes, traditional family.

But even in this scenario why can’t sociologists explain

Why, no matter how traditional, no two families are the same?

So if it’s not tradition… then what makes a family thrive?

What makes one family fail while another one survives?

As I’ve observe the world unfold it has become plain to me

To be successful, a family needs love and consistency.

Consistent, unconditional love is as easy as it sounds

It’s what make a family flourish, and makes the world go round.

If this type of love and caring a family does comprise

Then it stands to reason a family can be any shape or size.

Parents can be single, double, same sex, or like me and you

They can be nuclear or extended and come in different hues.

It may not be traditional and it’s certainly been rearranged

But could it be now is the time for the family to change?

Some people say the family is dead and no longer what God designed

The family isn’t dead my friends it’s just been redefined.

Perhaps one day no one will care what parents we’re assigned

Perhaps they’ll be one family of Earth…Perhaps that is God’s design?
