How Do We Really Know Someone
How Do We Really Know Someone
How do we really know someone, it’s certainly hard to tell
You trust, you love & have faith that this person will treat your daughter well.
But suddenly your world caves in with unexpected news, the shock alone is hard to bear,
there were never any clues.
Apparently your son in law isn’t who you think, he’s the reason your daughter has lost her
home & now she’s teetering on the brink.
He said the car was stolen but that was just another lie,
No bills were paid, he forged her name, and all we could do is cry.
He left his family homeless & he seemed to be handling it well,
“I knew your family would take us in” was the story he would tell.
He turned our world upside down & my heart just kept on breaking,
But the anger I felt toward this man is something I wasn’t faking.
He’s “gambled” with his life for years & the lies are still apparent,
But now that we are on to him, he just seems so transparent.
He claims to be the “best Dad in the world”, how dare he be so bold,
I just pray that one day his son will realize that he’s nothing but heartless & cold.
