My Six Siblings

I have six siblings.
Three brothers.
Three sisters.

One of my brothers
just got baptized
into the Mormon church.

I feel so happy for him!

He has found a community where he belongs
and a truth that gives him hope.
How beautiful!

One of my sisters
has a family
and likes to smoke weed.

I love that!

Her life is filled with sippy cups and diapers
and an alternative method of relaxing.
How interesting!

One of my brothers
nurses others' ailments
and gives his money away.

What a good man!

He spends hours doing things he doesn't enjoy
to earn the freedom to be generous.
How admirable!

One of my sisters
constantly weighs her options
for changing the world.

This blows my mind!

She spends hours thinking, plotting, and planning
Some people never think about this once.
How inspiring!

One of my brothers
owns a business
shoeing horses and building fences.

Tell me more!

He has a thousands skills I will never have
and even competes in national rodeos.
How fascinating!

One of my sisters
has wild orange hair
and transforms into a cat when she's embarrassed.

I can't get enough of her!

Her hands are busy practicing cursive and playing video games
and her world is built with blankets.
How blissful!

I have six siblings.
Three brothers.
Three sisters.

This is family:
Deciding to love
despite the differences
or maybe because of them.
