The nail in the board,
the mortar between the cracks,
the rivets in the steel,
That's what families are.
The road leading to our dreams,
the white picket fence,
the hopes of our future,
That's what families are.
The strength of a nation.
the moral fiber of a generation.
the sheer guts to survive.
That's what families are.
The answer to our prayers,
the fulfillment of a lifetime,
the wonder of the soul.
That's what families are.
The back bone of our country,
that's what families are. . .
Timothy Michael DiVito c 1992
