you only have a few months left
until you show your face on earth
until you're in my sisters arms
until you show what your worth
the family that you're going to enter
is an interesting group in the least
and in the greatest we are flawed
and at the best we are weak
the women in our family are vindictive
the men in our family don't care
the sympathy in our family is comforting
but there is hate floating in the air
you'll learn to adapt soon enough
and i'm sure you will see what's true
though we stab one another in the back
we'll always be there to love you
This is in hope that you're born healthy and strong

hmm wow this has a different feel to it-- it's down-to-earth.... almost pessimistic, yet loving at the same time!
unique, and thought-provoking.
