Family Pictures

Pretty pictures hang on the wall A family, a life One we may recall There was love and hope Joy and fear The kids might complain and mope But the bond was so great The ties never shook It was almost as good as fate The happy was as good as the sun It was just as bright and loving But the sad was like a gun Forever feared and avoided Sometimes confronted head on Running through your veins distorted The walls almost breathed alive Apart of the misshaped family It had a heart beat, a drive Do not compare your family For you need to be warned Your life wont be good as this simile
