A family so big, full of love and fun,
With grandpa and grandma, and all of our kin.
Our sister is sweet, and always so kind,
And our father is strong, and funny combined.

Our mother is gentle, a rock and a guide,
And our dad is the one who takes us for rides.
They love us so much, and we them the same,
Together we laugh and play silly games.

And our brother, oh our brother is bold,
He makes us all laugh with his tales that are told.
So when we are happy, or feeling quite blue,
We know our family is there, to see us through.

So here's to our family, with all of its parts,
With grandpa and grandma, dad, mom, and our arts.
We love you so much, and always will be,
A family forever, so strong and so free.
