The Family You Choose

I have a second family

The one that I collected along the way

People who came into my life

And I never want them to go away

I have had some since I was little

Some I picked up in college

Other came into my life through work

They each fill me with knowledge

Knowledge of self

Knowledge of things

Knowledge of life

Each without any strings

I love the family that I have chosen

To make me full

To make me whole

Who take no bull
