Family is a beautiful thing,
often taken for granted.
Sit a little longer on the old porch swing
In the land where your roots were planted.
Let the moment last a bit
Take a million pictures
Because one day you cannot sit
At a table with tour brothers and sisters.
So hug them really tight
Let your smile shine
Sit and talk all night
It may well be the last time.
When the moment starts to fade
And the dishes cleared away
The memories you made
In pictures here to stay.
