Anything Less Wouldn't Do

Family.....I built it all up for you,

Tore down the walls for you,

Opened my heart up for you,

Because when it came to you,

Anything less than the truth just wouldn't do.

 

Family..... I'll live my life for you,

Take on any strife for you,

Be a light in the night for you,

Because even in darkness it's true,

Anything less than my brightest hope just wouldn't do.

 

Family..... I'd remake the world for you,

Leave no stone unturned for you,

Leave no bridge unburned for you,

Because my devotion is true,

And anything less than my best just wouldn't do.

 

Family.....one day I'll die for you,

I'll close my eyes for you,

Give my last sigh for you,

Because only your love saw me through,

And anything less than my last breath just wouldn't do.

Thanks Jennifer, it's lovely to "hear" your voice again, I've been a bit preoccupied of late. So glad you liked it.

Beautiful - lovely to find someone who cares so much about family in this day and age. Wonderfully expressed without any mawkishness.

Thanks Ghazala, it's hard to express how much it matters. I thought I'd have a go.

True thoughts Jason.

I like the construction here. Subtle. Just discovered the rhyming ....

Everything gels together so well. Once more, a lot of time and effort here. Not an over-nighter. Well done......
