A Slave To Family
A slave to family, giving all that one can give.
Family is a pack,
a union,
a strong-hold;
and one must provide for their family.
Sacrifices made for happiness
of others.
Family can be all fun and joy or
can be all sadness and grief, depending on a person's shoes.
A Sturdy oak can not bend
nor can a mountain whither.
But times has taken both and shown that
trees can bend and mountains can whither.
Family
You are not alone
Chained to another
and if one fails all fail.
Even though all may help it is the duty
of one to save them all.
When will time play fair?
When will lady luck's favor change?
Struggling through-
through knee-deep mud
fighting through the quicksand...
Why must one suffer and whither
away for a family.
