Makes a Family
Original Author: Unknown
My dad works in an office downtown,
And when he’s home, he works all around.
He cleans up dishes and that job’s hard;
Then he rakes up leaves and mows the front yard.
But Dad always finds some time for me,
And that’s what makes a family.
Change Dad to Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, etc…
