Subject: Someone you Love.

With family comes drama, as most of you know;
Sometimes, pettiness and anger is the face it will show;

The people you call family are there from the start;
It is not like you can buy them at a local Walmart;

Walmart doesn’t carry family, because it would not be fun;
To have customers returning product and wanting a refund;

With all of the drama and always getting lip;
All this because, I can’t find my stupid sales slip;

Here is something that I would like to see;
A family member with a 20 year warranty;

What I suggest might seem quite odd;
But it would be official if issued by God;

When things seem so bad and bodies lay in the wake;
I have a safe heaven, for my mind and soul to take;

To have an oasis , in this land of Mecca;
This is why I love my sister Rebecca.
