A Family Affair
A Family Affair
You are my family
My son the wanderer
My daughter the nurturer
My wife the provider
In my family
I play a small role
But I like to see the smile
Curl up in your mouths
It's my family
And there's much to love about you
You give me nourishment and time
To take you in my arms and hug you
This small family of ours
Has held its own against marauders
Against looters and liars,
it may break up
Or stand up and fight for its right to be heard
