Every family has problems; I don't believe that I am wrong.

Problems, along with good times, are what make a family strong.

We grumble, argue and disagree but I think that's part of living.

We have to stop and think what's said; it's called taking, as well as giving.

Brothers, sisters, moms and dads have different points of view;

All may be right in their own way - it's what's right for me and you.

Individuals have a unique oneness and contribute readily;

Put every identity together and it bonds a family.
