That's What Family Is All About © Anisha R. Patel When you've got a family like mine, You surely would not mind They would cheer you on at any game, All the way until you walk through the hall of fame. They make you feel better when you are blue And whisper in your ear, I love you They would teach you something new everyday And help you find success in everyway They attend to your everyday needs Whether it is buying pencils or beads They make sure you are comfortable where you are Whether you are in a house or a car They would not let obstacles keep you down And create a smile from your frown They teach you wrong from right And encourage you to keep your dreams in sight They wipe your tears away when you are sad And calm you down when you get mad Thank you family for all that you do I don't know where I would be if it weren't for you
