I would be nothing without my family


Who Will Defend Me?

Who will take my part
when others won't defend me?
Who will help me stand straight
when life wants to bend me?
Who will hold my hand
when fear wants to overtake me?
Who will tell me truth
when someone tries to fake me?
My family will come
and take their stand beside me.
My family will come
and fight those who deride me.
My family will come
and walk me through the dark.
My family will come
and douse the gossip spark.
A family means love
without judgemental bounds.
A family means hope
not set on doubting grounds.
A family means mercy
without adding conditions.
A family means home
without charging addmission.

Yes, the family that loves you as perfectly as a human can but not as much as our God can.

Family is a very important thing. I really liked this poem, because I see myself and my family in it. Its a very wonderful poem. At least for some people not all your family, your is the one place you feel safe andknow you will always be welcomed and accepted for just being you!
Great write

This brought tears to my eyes, and a rush of pride to my heart. Loving, caring, supportive famies will change the course of the world. It all begins with one. One person, one couple, one family and on and on it goes.
