The text reads:
What is a Family?
It’s sharing, comparing, bonding & caring
It’s hugging & squeezing, talking & teasing
It’s praising & knowing, belonging & growing
It’s guiding, providing, trusting, confiding
It’s loving & kissing, nurturing, missing
It’s working & playing, treating & paying
It’s arguing, fighting & often delighting
It’s visiting, hosting & Sunday roasting
It’s relaxing & boring, most reassuring
It’s coaxing & charming, appeasing & calming
It’s waiting, debating, fulfilling, elating
It’s needing & feeding & tactful conceding
It’s driving, conniving, learning & thriving
It’s holding & nursing, worrying, cursing
It’s stressing, confessing & making a messing
It’s loaning & moaning, helping & phoning
It’s bickering, laughing, bedding & bathing
It’s listening, coping, planning & hoping
It’s relying, crying, a little white lying
It’s forgiving & mending, liking, depending
That’s what makes a family!

You told me the truth
Yet let me be me

All that you had
Stayed by my side
In good times and bad.
So thank you for showing
