If you can’t say you’re hurt when you feel hurt,

You’re not family.

If you can’t say you’re happy when you’re happy,

You’re not family.

A sweet and soft ice cream cone
Isn’t enough to become a family
Pain, happiness, and love must be shared.

And you must endure all hardships in prayer Until you can feel it together.

That’s how we become a family.

You must be able to express your sadness And be able to cry together to be a family.

You must be able to express your happiness and be able to be happy for one another to be a family.

You must feel like you’re under the same blanket no matter where you are to be a family.
