a road to family

A ROAD TO FAMILY

A ROAD TO FAMILY
BRINGS COLORS INTO OUR HEARTS
WHERE THERE WAS ONCE SEPIA
THE COLORS OF BUTTERFLIES
SPREADS ITS WINGS
AND NATURE SPLASHES HER HUES

SMILES BRINGS LIFE TO FAMILIES
AND FAMILIES BRINGS LIFE TO THE WORLD

A HOUSE GIVES BIRTH
WHERE A CHILD IS BORN
AND IT WILL BREATH NEW MEMORIES
INTO THE WORLD
MEMORIES TO WATCH CLOSELY
MEMORIES WE SIT AND PONDER
MEMORIES THAT KEEPS US
ON THE ROAD WE ARE ON-CALLED
FAMILY
A FAMILY FOR THE YOUNG
A FAMILY FOR THE OLD
A FAMILY FOR THE HUMOROUS
THE TEACHER
AND THE LEADER

WE WATCH THE ROAD
TAKE OUR JOURNEY
TO RIVERS OF SERENITY
DOWN TO STREAMS OF LOVE AND SANCTUARY
OUR GAMES ARE PLAYED IN HARMONY
NEVER IN SOLITUDE
BUT IN TOGETHERNESS

WE SPEAK WORDS FAMILIAR TO US
AND WATCH THEM PLAYED ON TAPE
WORDS THAT EMBRACE US
WORDS THAT BOND US TOGETHER

WORDS THAT BRINGS US CLOSER TO FAMILY
A NEW GENERATION
WITH A NEW ROAD TO TRAVEL
THAT WILL TURN THIS WORLD UPSIDE DOWN
WITH NEW MEANING AND PURPOSE
AS WE TRAVEL ON THIS ROAD
TO FAMILY

FINAL THOUGHT:the journey we take creating our family history will be a road that is different for everyone. some roads are "rocky" and some roads are full of twist and turns. some appear to be all over the place with no destination known. but the journey i take with my family is creative and fun. there are bumps and rocks that cross our path, but most of the ride is smooth and that gives me great memories of a great trip. and the road i take alone away from them...is still a road that they will journey with me because i carry who they are with me wherever i go.

QUESTION:can you recall a great memory of your family that means alot to you?
