Family Foundations

Families are accountable one to the other,
Mother to father, sister to brother.
Families are like dominoes, standing in a row;
If one falls over, down the rest will go.

We must all do our parts to keep our families strong
To find a niche for each member to belong.
We must take the time to strengthen the links
And respect what even the weakest thinks.

We must support each other as we learn
The ways to address our deepest concerns.
This is the only way I have found
To keep our families on solid ground.

It is a tragedy that some cannot
Get past their ancestral rot.
These must seek a new tribe
In which they can successfully abide.
