Family is, heaven sent from our father above,
bonded by the power of love.
No matter what, Family has each other's back,
when push comes to shove.
Family is, understanding, never demanding,
all for one and one for all,
I will never leave you alone standing.
Family is, one in itself,
My love is your love,
Your pain is my pain,
My wealth is your
wealth,
I promise to never leave you by yourself.
Family is, the strongest team, the strongest unit;
If love could be visualized, family
would be the blue print.
Family is, forgiveness and patience,
It's sweeter than the sweetest fragrance,
The power of family is a reflection of Gods compassion and magnificence.
Family is, never turning our back, and never shames,
lend my helping hand and not a finger pointing the blame.
No matter what, a family bond can never be broken,
even through a nuclear explosion,
if one of us lives we all live.
Forever to eternity, we are family,
my father, my mother,
my sisters, my brothers,
and me.

And here is the finished product....

Allison is quite a good photographer in her own right and so it was a joy to work with such great photos and one of my favorite subjects, "The BEACH!!" I also created a theme for her to go with the header. So run over and check it out!

TTFN!
