Reminiscing Ii

Laying on the field 
Day dreaming about a picnic 
As my family life kinda hasty:
Mom always working to put food on the table, dad missing
Such is nature the rapture,
Promising myself that I'll be a better dad
Spending More time with my kids
Those keys, but deep down I know 
Time hits and life hurt's,
Saw the bruises on my moms hands
And She hid them with white gloves,
Not knowing that I see the work
And the pain she's in,
I know it's not easy being clean
Even harder being straight,
But she managed while my dad was missing,
