Daughter/Bride

She was born on the same light
Inside the warm womb
The same breast feed her
And she lived in the same house

Grew up among her silibings
Undet the caring of her Mom
Dad's mighty arms holds
Catching her every fall

Suddenly she was set-up
To live in a new home
Crying as she had to leave back
Her play ground and her dreams

'Ma, Pa, why can't I live here?
Like my brothers?
Why am I send away?
To a new life?
This is where I was born?
Why can't I stay?'

She said and ask all the questions
Finding no really answers
Something about society and roles
Every girl has to go
And settle down in a new home
That's what her Pa explain
While her Ma cried
Telling her a Spinster woman
Is better as dead
Don't you bring us the shame

And so she left the home
Where she laughed and cried
Where she played sing and dance
Left her home and her memorries
Went to a new place and a new family
A daughter who turn into a bride
Suddenly she was a strange
To her own blood
When she came to visit
They treat her almost like a guest

Nothing seems to be old
New faces, new emotions
But the rules were the same
Her own daughter was going to turn
Soon into....
Daughter/Bride.
