I Had It All

There was a time when I had it all. I felt big even when I was small. In a home on sunset boulevard, When I had it all. Mornings on the terrace. Lunches out on the bay. Father standing tall. Mother full of grace. Never planned for me to live out of this suitcase. I know in me they had faith. But lacked it with each other.    We moved further to the east side They fell out of love. Couldn't keep the fights to themselves, Not even for my sake. They couldn't rise above it all. Didn't think of me at all. Not even the holidays remained the same. I miss our family Christmas cards. Portrayed us in our best. We loved each other genuinely. Back in the day when I had it all.
