No Two Families
No two families are alike
So we can’t really know
What happens in a household
Underneath the parts that show.
The habits, values and routines
Which parents first control
Aren’t visible to those outside,
Though normalcy’s the goal.
When children grow and leave the house
And heed their inner voice,
The power to reject or stick
With customs is their choice.
What I find most intriguing
Is how those from one abode
Can, as grown-ups, lead such different lives
From those their folks bestowed.
