We are family

This is the poem I wrote to share for our family home evening lesson

We are family
Our lives are intertwined,
Brought together on the earth
as one in heart and mind.

Through life’s long journey
There will be trials and pain,
We will feel heart ache and sorrow
But, true knowledge must be gained.

We must cherish one another
Have the pure love of Christ,
As we serve and lift each other
Throughout our mortal live.

Watch over one another
With concerning heartfelt care
Your are so very important
Constantly in our daily prayers.

Comfort one another
When the journey is too much
Encircling all in loving arm
Giving strength from gentle touch.

Gaining instruction from family
Is something we all need,
Watching and observing the example
Helps to plant the eternal seed.

We are family
And our deepest heart’s desire,
Is to sit down in heaven together
United in love through Priesthood power.
