Ode to Family

Biology does not connect us

Marriage does not connect us

Distant cousins do not connect us

But we are family either way

You are my brothers and sisters

You all have been there for me

Through the thickest of fog 

And the heaviest of storms

I've seen people fall around me

I've cried over dust like it was gold

You all have kept me up and walking

This family we've built around trust

Around kindness, Love, and care

The place all of you hold in my heart and life

Take this ode, this poem

As a sign of my gratitude

Let's grow as people together

As a chosen family in kind arms

I love you all

 [This goes out to my chosen family. I love you guys so much and I do not know how else to thank you but give you my time and care. People say biological family should be first but that is a lie especially when I've met the best people in the world by chance. You guys mean more than the air I breath and no its not because I'm dependent on you all, it's because we stand together as one. I've found hope within this small family we've created, and I could never be more grateful.)
