The Family Tradition.

"The Family Tradition"

When I think of a place of joy and peace,

My heart turns straight to home,

That haven of great contentment

That brings a comfort all its own

Through the endless repetitition

That makes up our daily living

In the greatest of all joys-

The Family Tradition.

For the traditions that our family keep

Have now made our house our home,

And the little things we always do

Have become ours and ours alone.

For a peaceful home's a happy home-

It's like a song, a benediction,

A place to be perpetuated in

The Family Tradition.

Family traditions are really quite unique,

I think they must have been God-given

Born of our desire for unity and love

In a world that lacks loves vision.

For family live in our thoughts,

Both those passed on and living,

Forever locked in our hearts

Through our keeping of

The Family Tradition.
