My Family

Beautifully awkward
Every joint supplies
Thumb, thigh, lip, hip
From the grave to the skies
Ugly drawers, pretty panties
That’s my family

15 minutes of fame
Six to zero degrees
Elbows, spine, ears, hair
Lifted hands and bended knees
Ugly drawers, pretty panties
That’s my family

I forgot I was loved
Lost it in a lie of fear
Wrist, chest, abs, calves
I’ve returned home and everyone is here
Ugly drawers, pretty panties
That’s my family

My daughters are not lost
My sons are on their way
Ankle, knuckle, biceps, triceps
I loved you long before today
Ugly drawers, pretty panties
That’s my family

Some by blood and some by blood
Adoption sacred and true
Palms, skull, thighs, eyes
I never let go of you
Ugly drawers, pretty panties
That’s my family

Yes, I said it
No too many would
Heart, head, hand, land
What’s mine is mine, and He made it good
Ugly drawers, pretty panties
That’s my family
