Family

I thought they were always supposed to be there,
Be the ones who showed the most care,
Held my hands and took me through my fears,
Be the cloth to wipe away my tears,
The pillow to rest my weary head,
The shield to protect me from the lions den,
The open windows to take a breath of fresh air,
I was wrong for they left me in the valley of the shadows of death,
but I fear no evil for the son of man was near,
He took me and called me a child of the one above the earth.
