Family

1,Dad
A Dads love is different he tries hard not to show
he suppose to be the strong one he sometimes may seem cold
he holds us all together family values he must set
he works hard to support us and keeps us out of debt
It seems as he grows older he mellows with age
his feelings he starts to show his tough side starts to fade
his touch becomes more gentle his children have a special place
they have softened that hard man you see love etched in his face
You see the pride on his face to see his children grown
to see them all happy with children of their own
to know he's done a good job he's done the best that he knew how
his prayers had been answered when on his knees he bowed

2.Mom
A Mother is special no one can take her place
it seems that God gave her just a touch more of His grace
forgiveness is her virtue that also lies within
no matter what a child does she'll forgive again and again
Her hands always touch soft even as they harden with age
even as she grows older her beauty never fades
her smile comes from within it can melt the hardest heart
a mother and her child can not be torn apart
The memories of a Mother will always make you smile
though you may be far apart her love spans the miles
she will always be there when you're all alone
her door is always open she'll always welcome you home

3Grand Dad
There's just no one like Grand Pa he's a giant among men
grandchildren sit upon his lap and hear stories of back when
though life has etched lines on his face and his eyes have dimmed
the love he shares is endless Grandpa and Grandchild blend
It seems that he never tires you talk for hours on end
the time you share is precious for Grandchild, Grandpa bends
even though his own child just can't understand
why this change has taken place
It is a special bond between the two of them,it shows on their face

4.Grandmother
How do you describe a Grandma words just can't express
the feelings and emotions to know one you've been blessed
the fruits of the spirit must all dwell inside
this small frame of a woman within her they abide
She would give all she had even her own life
for the safety of her family she would not give up the fight
she has a love that has no boundaries a love for one and all
a priceless gift that she shares family tradition she holds
endless hours upon her knees she prays for one and all
if you ever have a need on Grandma you can call

7.Daughter
A daughter is a part of you ,so precious in your heart
her first words and her first steps,leave a special mark
upon a mothers mind ,these memories never fade
and yes, you'll remember ,school that first day

As she grows older she'll want to pull away
even though it breaks your heart
you cut the strings, bow your head and pray
God keep watch upon my child ,
let angels keep her from harm
this special gift you gave me ,guard safely in your arms

Now she's grown older she has a life of her own
a husband and a special love a job and a home
the strings come back together now once again
she did what she needed a new relationship can begin
that bond could not be broken
through the passing years
love held us together it was worth every tear

8.Husband and Wife
A husband and wife make a perfect team
the love that binds together
helps to fulfill all their dreams
A perfect life and family takes a lot of work
but you both are willing you put each other first

You care about each other’s needs,each willing to give
the best of what Gods given
you both know how to live
That sacrifice is needed you both realize
that you both don't get your way
you learn to compromise

When you put the other first your needs are met
if you give to the other it seems you always get
what you need in return love covers a lot
what may look like a big mistake is most often forgot

You stand hand in hand watch your children grow
through the good and the bad
you've managed to keep hold
of the most important things
you've taught them right from wrong
you know they won’t depart now that they are grown

6,Brother
A brother is special in his own way he may be rough and tough
but never you dismay he will be there for you
when the going gets tough he'll hold out a helping hand
even though he huffs and puffs
Don't let that fool you you know he really cares
a brother is suppose to be strong but sometimes he gets scared
He just cares so much for you and he just can't seem to show
his emotions deep inside but as a sister you'll know
your bond can not be broken be there till the end
he's not only your brother he's also your best friend

5.Sister
A sister is a special friend one on whom you can depend
through the good times and the bad whether happy or sad
it seems she always understands just how you feel
and if the way gets rough she'll pull you up that hill
She is always there for you she listens if you need to talk
she will never condemn she holds you close and dries your tears
she's a God given friend

9.Family
What has caused the break down of the family today
it’s happened over a long time, it’s really hard to say
I think it all started, with the women’s lib
raising kids no longer fulfilled her
she didn’t want to be just Adam's rib
she went into the work place, left kids to fend alone
they now had to raise themselves, most Fathers are now gone
they had to go find themselves, out in the world they went
most kids don’t even know them, they don’t have a hint
of what true family life, should really be
all we hear is “ I “ not you and me
it is no longer we, each one goes their own way
some women had no choice, they had to take control
because the husband wouldn’t take his place
as head of the household
I may be naive but I think, a woman’s place is at home
if we took the time to read God’s word,we would not be alone.
He would lead and us in the path that we should take
and he would guide us in decisions that we make.
