My family means a lot to me.
Thy stick to me like an old gum tree.
I love everything about my family
My children, nieces, nephews, grands,
Great grands, cousins, they all  fill
up my family tree
Yes! They all are a part of me.
And I truly love my family.
Who understand and tolerate me
And my foolish jokes
They really are unique and special folks
I wish they all were here with me
My family
