What's care?
It's when your father comes running when he sees you fall,
But let's you get up on your own so you learn to be strong.
It's when you're out and every hour you get a call,
But your mother knows you so allows you to stay out long.

What's trust?
It's when your sister complains a lot 'bout you,
But never reveals any of your secrets to anyone.
It's when you know your family won't doubt you,
And believe you when no one does and never let you down.

What's possessiveness?
It's when your brother never lets any one touch you,
Warns bullies to stay away.
It's when he would kill his best friend too,
If he tries to hurt you in any way.

What's love?
It's when you shout at them when you get moody,
But they keep quiet and let you say.
It's when even if you do a crime, buddy,
They'll never stop loving you any day.

Dunno why the love of your boyfriend or girlfriend,
Is the only thing you feel.
But aren't able to notice the sleepless nights,
Your mother spent when you were ill.
The hours and hours your father toiled,
Cuz you asked him to get you something and he promised he will.
The numerous times your sister,
Used her pocket money to pay your bill.
When someone bullied you,
And your brother went alone to them to kill.

Family is everything,
And life is all about family,
And they do truly love you,
But it's hidden, you just have to see.
