"Forget About Me Because I Love You"

I know I can complain about my family and the choices each one of us make. As much as I may complain about them, at the end of the day, they are my family, and I do love them dearly. The song below is actually a rap by Fr. Stan Fortuna. I think that it reflects a lot about how I feel. Just thought I'd share...

F.A.M.I.L.Y.

Words & Music: Fr. Stan Fortuna CFR (c)1998

Forget about me because I love you. I wanna put ya in my family and love ya through.
A family community ya give ya love free, That's the kind of family we gotta work to be.
With the love from above that's how a family is found. Through the problems and the pain there's enough love to go around. Pray for all the people give ya self in all ya do. Forget about me because I love you.

That's right, Now I'm talkin' 'bout me and my brothers, The sisters and the cousins and the fathers and the mothers. It's the creed, yes indeed, get hip to the truth he's on ya back. The breakdown of the family's the devil's prime attack. 'Cause ya know when we're together in a bond that lasts forever, We stay strong, forgiving wrong, walkin' the road that's hard and long, Pray for all the people for ya self and for ya crew, Forget about me because I love you.

Lord Jesus Christ shine Your light on me. Help me show the world how to be a family.
To make a gift of myself is how I keep it real. My broken heart, take it Lord, help me to heal. You're the medicine for every F.A.M.I.L.Y. With Joseph and Mary we got to learn to rely, On the mystery of the Trinity to love like You do And say forget about me because I love you.
