Family Matters

Where will they be in time?
Ever close enough to reach for?
I took for granted what  I miss...
Crazy how our family's tore.

This is another Permanent Bruise
Destructions throughout my life-
But I know they're looking at it too
As I look up to this blackened sky.

I think about my family
I try to remember every detail
Seems like now they're what I need
The devil has cast an evil spell!

I pray to the Lord
Please help me guide them
Please give us some direction.
I miss the innocent laughter
I miss their unconditional protection.
