Family Dynamics
Where Does Yours Fit In
The story of family and
The story of time
It's more complicated than life
It's no one's nursery rhyme
*************************************
But as sure as Jack fell down
And broke his crown
In real life it's victims
Do come tumbling down
******************************************
As sure as disagreements, hatred and
Divorce seem to rule
It seems the effect on mankind
Is inevitably cruel
********************************************
In today's world it seems
The problems that they may differ
From violence, hate and mass shootings
To opiate and drug addictions
****************************************
But as God as your witness
And time on your side
Reach out to one another
With dignity, love and pride

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.
