A Family is a Circle
Where we Learn to like ourselves
Where we Learn to make good decisions
Where we Learn to think before we do
Where we Learn integrity and respect for others
Where we are special
Where we share ideas
Where we Listen and are listened to
Where we Learn the rules of life
To prepare ourselves for the world.

This is a beautiful poem that is the epitome of my upbringing. Our world is always changing, so having a solid foundation is very important.  It’s what helps us to survive, interact with and treat others, conduct ourselves, and develop our self-worth.  I only hope and pray that the very values mentioned in the poem will continue throughout the generations.
