Image of a patient Father
Mother with an iron fist
Secret meals whilst punishments falter
White lies and back talk- she'll keep a list
Banding together- secrets the glue
United front
All at once, house divided - life will continue

Seeming freedom granted in our lives
New boundaries and relationships
So often, forgetting ties
Whilst lies spilling from lips
The beginning always ends
Events outweighing others
Old repeats and new begins
At times, faltering to remove the covers
Mid story the scene seems stuck
Sitting, thinking mind's quicksand
Press fast- forward, no such luck
Observe then forage the land
Growing, learning parent's ways
Footsteps following chalk lined squares
Life's myth; it's not a game
Create your own- become aware
