Analysis of Family Matters...
Robert Catron 1963 (Kansas)
Your family should always come first in your life,
Your parents, relatives, children, and your wife.
They are the people who mean the most to you,
They always give you the best advice on what to do.
Families are great for Holidays filled with cheer,
The times like those when it's nice to have loved ones near.
It's times like these I'm thankful for what I've got,
I'm reminded to remember those who have not.
I've been pretty lucky in life - the Lord has shown me it's true,
When I think of the homeless with no family like me and you.
So next time you feel alone and your mind scatters,
Stop - Take a deep breathe - and remember family matters.
