The Picture of the Broken-Family Through An Innocent's Eyes

She stands there – in front of the court Between Mom – Dad, and wonders… Here is Mom - she will marry a rich man And calls him, “husband” Will “Mom’s husband” love her as Dad does? Here is Dad - he will marry a pretty woman. And calls her, “wife” Will “Dad’s wife” love her as Mom does?

She stands there - in front of the court This side is Mom - This side is Dad And wonders…
