There are many things 
                                      in our lives that we hold dear.
                                     But nothing can take the place
                                             of having family near.
                                        The times we get together
                                      are sometimes far and apart.
                              But that makes the time we're together
                                       more enduring to our hearts.
                                               Family is like a tree
                                              that bears many fruit.
                              It's sometimes damaged by the storms.
                                               But remains strong
                                          because of its solid root.
                                         Unlike materialistic things
                                           that soon will fade away.
                                      Family is durable, built to last
                                                      day after day.
