Separation
Her newborn girl wasn't given to her
for the crucial skin to skin contact
instead the nurses took the baby away
and returned the daughter back to the mother-
with a bottle, after a few hours.
A close bond never formed between them
conversations seldom occurred,
time together was little spent.
He was tied up with running his business
rarely was at home with his wife, two daughters
and especially his son, his only son, his youngest child.
Disconnected father and son, cut telephone cord,
what the son wanted was a man to look up to and love
his own father of course! But all his father wanted
was money, money, money. Devoted too much to work,
deprived his family of love, especially his son.
I wonder why separation occurs in family
When family is supposed to be united?
