you cant choose your family, thats what they say
but i have found that you cant always trust in the "they"
a family is something you are born into of course
and it cant be changed by wishing or force
but the meaning of family can be different for me
it doesnt have to begin with a tree
one day i was searching for somewhere to be
where the people had interests similar to me
i searched my heart for a direction to head
and i thought of Vale, a most interesting thread
i pondered and searched for a promising place
where i could learn and discuss the man and the race
i happened upon an unlikely site
where people were posting and sharing the right
from all over the world, they moved in harmony
i knew right away this place was meant for me
i've met all kinds of friends
from the worlds every end
sure there are differences in opinions, a few
but they are discussed and resolved too
like any family there are some we cant stand
but we are always there with a helping hand
there are those we adore
and those we abhor
but in all our heads
there is the collective thread
that keep us as one,
and filled with the fun
the man we all like
the man on the bike
who keeps us in check and keeps us in line
who entertains us time after time
but we are here for the company
and for the comraderie
for the knowledge and scope
for the love and the hope
and we hope to never lose
this family that we choose.

that was for yaz
