My grandma once told me
ohana means family
as she baked hawaiian bread
and then as years progressed i thought to myself
well if ohana means family
why don't we receive christmas cards anymore
if ohana means family
why cant we go one dinner with the tv off and nobody talking on the phone
at dinner we watch a show about a loving family
if ohana means family why cant we be like that family on tv
you know instead of eating ice cream at home
why cant we go out for ice cream to show the world that we could be a family
if ohana means family why cant we make the commitment to be one
and i know deep down
none of us could ever live without eachother
but since ohana means family
why cant we be able to show it
my grandma was the one that told me the
meaning of ohana
i just wish she was still here today
to make sure our
ohana
was still close
