 What Family Means to Me
Marilyn R. Barfield, February 2006

W hat family means to me is more

than mere words can convey.
Its been the basis for my life and
how Ive faced each day.

T he nurturing of Mom and Dad

from birth to puberty
instilled in me a sense of worth
and love for family...

T he close knit love of siblings

with my parents T.L.C.
has made me know and feel the
warmth that bonds a family.
