Family is...

Family is the first step you make
Family is the breath you take
Family is the cure to every ache
Family is

Family is the happiness inside
Family is the place to confide
Family is a heart filled with pride
Family is

Family is a protecting shield
Family is a deep cut healed
Family are the lips that are sealed
Family is

Family is a great big heart
Family a tasty jam tart
Family is the greatest piece of art
Family is

Family is the warmth of a glowing fire
Family is your hearts desire
Family is a great sapphire
Family is

  2. The metaphors here are fresh, original and highly effective - and heart-warming too!

    I especially like stanza three, which is both simple and profound at the same time (no small feat) - particularly the third line.

    Elsewhere, if you look closely, it is only your rhythm that lets you down a little at times, with three rather than four feet in some of your lines. But I said at the start that this would be the most difficult thing, so I am not criticising at all! :)
