How intense the anger; what depth the pain
That feeds the fuel for resentment to reign Over a family that once was one The rifts growing wider; more tragedy born No speaking; no listening; no healing the pain Just bitterness and sadness; a Family Torn. Brother against sister in turmoil and hate Spills over to children, thus sealing their fate Not even death has been able to heal The hurt, the betrayal, the loss that they feel. A greater tragedy than death is the fact That stubbornness and greed prevails Over accepting each other and looking ahead To our children's future, and all that entails. Does a child have to suffer the conflicts of past? Issues not dealt with; the die to be cast Of rejection, alienation; of being alone To bear the brunt of past sins still not atoned? Or can they find freedom; to be given at last The gift of a family, not torn as the past A family reborn and recovery bound With new-found forgiveness and acceptance found. The choice, it seems is painfully clear a family so torn is a family with fear Can that fear be conquered: a generation appear? Who can forgive and accept A new life starting here. by Lois Stargratt ![]()
