Who Truly Is Family?

Many say I am family of, others that is my family
Who is truly family? Is a word
That we must conjugate and analyze very well, because it is
Easy to say, but few practice it, as it should be

I see many people in the world begging, with nothing to eat
They claim to have family, but where are they? Others when they need
From your siblings, your parents, uncles or any relative there
They shine by their absence, and disappear because they suit them

Many say I am family of, others that is my family
Who is truly family? Is a word
That we must conjugate and analyze very well, because it is
Easy to say, but few practice it, as it should be

But how easy is it when a person has wealth and
A high social status, there, there, it rains the relatives
What a poor mind some have, others see from their parents
And when they die they say what my parents had they touch me because
It was I who took care of them, what a poor mind, they take care of them for an interest

Many say I am family of, others that is my family
Who is truly family? Is a word
That we must conjugate and analyze very well, because it is
Easy to say, but few practice it, as it should be
