Alcohol Love---Family Fear

Push and shove Punch and hit Throwing a bad violent fit Never knowing what you did Because the liquor left it hid Remembering is hard to do When it takes control of you You try and stop with group support But one sip and you abort All the senses telling you This is a bad thing to do Having fun with all your friends Swigging every drink they send With each one you can’t hold back You start to hit and start to smack A child who don’t understand Why other daddy’s use their hands To hold and love their little ones But she has to hide and run So afraid and scared to death With every hit she holds her breath Praying for her life each time He does this violent act of crime
