The Picture of the Broken-Family Through An Innocent's Eyes
She stands there – in front of the court
Between Mom – Dad, and wonders…
Here is Mom - she will marry a rich man
And calls him, “husband”
Will “Mom’s husband” love her as Dad does?
Here is Dad - he will marry a pretty woman.
And calls her, “wife”
Will “Dad’s wife” love her as Mom does?
She stands there - between two worlds:
Mom – Dad, and wonders…
Where does the world she belongs to?
Tears come down…
She closes her eyes, and dreams…
The world of Mom, Dad and her
The world she used to have
The world of loving and laughing
The world she has lost!
She stands there - in front of the court
This side is Mom - This side is Dad
And wonders…
