Family Ties Should Bind

Family ties should bind the wound When parents get their well-earned rest Ne’er leave a single child ungroomed While other siblings’ take the best. They were the most godly parents Family ties should bind the wound Neither mom nor pop were errants Leaving their children to be doomed. Death lately together entombed Leaving the six children to share Family ties should bind the wound Four are greedy, other two care. Greedy four hired lawyers to fight Will leave the two others marooned The family knows it’s not right Family ties should bind the wound. written July 20, 2021

I like the continuity of this poem. "Family ties should bind the wound." made incredible sense both places.

This is based on a true situation going on in my sister-in-law's family right now. So sad!
