HOLD onto FAMILY



Family...

Hold on to what you got,
Cause it's all you will ever have

The years go by, and it's the one constant thing in our life
That will always be there.

Fashions and clothing come and go
Knick knacks sit around looking pretty,
As it collects dust throughout the years,
Money might bring security,

But it sure doesn't always provide happiness.

But family is the constant reminder of who you are...
And where you come from.

Friends will be there throughout a variety of stages in your life,
But family will be there each day,
With the rising and setting of the sun--
And each evening of the stars.

Remember to hold those that you love close,
And never let them go--
Because when God calls them home,
They will live in your heart forever.

Family-it's the only ones you will ever have
You can't replace them-
They're priceless and glorious gifts from God.

There's a reason God gave you family,
And a reason he gave you life.

Tell the people you care about that you love them,
And begin each day with prayer,
Thanking the Lord for his precious gifts....

Hold on to what you got,
Cause it's all you will ever have.

makes me miss my family! I live in New York City. Most of my family is in New England or abroad.

Loved your poem Our thoughts are similar. See my poem " Song Too My Family" by Peggy Ann. I's probably older than you and I just hope that my family will love and care for each other after I'm gone.It seems petty problems are blown out of proportion. Families aaaare the only people you can rely on. Peggy Ann
