Family Ties

Family Ties
(Villanelle)

A mother gives birth to a child
The child grows up big and strong
That child should be loved through thick and thin

From being a tiny baby to being a woman
She is taught morals and values
A mother gives birth to a child

She goes through tough times
She faces rejection
That child should be loved through thick and thin

She greets joy for a short time
Then forgets what her life stands for
A mother gives birth to a child

She gets caught up in drugs and alcohol
Her stepfather abuses her
That child should be loved through thick and thin

The world shoves their noses in the air
She feels like no one cares
A mother gives birth to a child
That child should be loved through thick and thin
