Family of the Heart
Family of the Heart ©

In a world of dreams and fantasy
All blood ties have your back
But life sometimes throws you curveballs
That ideal world can easily crack
Once expectations of who you should be
All shatter and begin to crumble
Sad to say love can be tossed away
You tailspin, then fall and tumble
But then it happens I guarantee
Once again that family tree
Grows branches of love from those who know
Exactly who you were meant to be
A new family is born of those who care
For the one and only genuine you
For love is love is love is love
Your caring new family will tell you that’s true!
About this poem
Sometimes you must create the family in your life.
