Family, we stick together no matter what happens but sometimes we argue and ignore each other.
We care for each other no matter what life does to us because we will always be family.

I know sometimes I am too much to handle when I’m mad or just get mean but know that I care for them.
The moment I opened my eyes I knew that I was being honored to have such a family.

I already felt their love for me when I was inside my mother’s belly.
The excitement of holding me in their hands and calling this my family.

Growing up together with my siblings and teasing each other.
Arguing sometimes but at the end saying apologies, we can’t be mad at each other longer because we’re family.

As times passed our love for each other and our bond became stronger.
Sticking together in hard times and solving problems together made us strong family.

When I’m sick and do not feel well, and can't do anything.
They’re the ones who took me to the hospital and took care of me as family.

When I’m sad and not feeling like myself, they try to make me happy.
When I accomplish something, like passing exams, we celebrate together as a family.

Families and all members can accomplish anything when united
At the end when there is nobody for you, there is always your family.
