This is for all families out there.

               Requiem for a family.

God bless my wife, the children and me, together we're a family, you see.

The love shared between us may not be enough to carry us through when the waters get rough.

Please swim with us oh Lord, through every wave of it all;

we can't make it without you, for without you we'll fall.

Keep us together, healthy and safe, and we will flourish in the comfort of your warm embrace.

We will give love and share love until there's the time; when there's nothing but memories.....

of this family of mine.
