Family missing

Got this feeling

In the pit of my gut

That something is missing

And what's missing is you

And "you" are too many people

My father

My mother

Brothers and sisters

Grandparents and Cousins

Aunts and Uncles

They all have a spot

Footprints on my heart

Like poka dots

They help me keep sane and crazy

At the same time

Although they are out of reach

They are all still mine

My warriors

Strong for me when I couldn't be

Prayed for me

When my hands were tied

Spoke the truth for me when I lied

Loved me when I never loved myself

While sick they kept my health

Supported me when I was in doubt

Woudn't forget or leave me out

They are my home

My memories

A food

A scent

A cause to sin

A greater cause to repent

Straightened me out when I was bent

I love my family

To death.
