It used to be a perfect, happy home.
Children, a father, a mother.
There were sisters and brothers;
they'd play for hours.
Daddy would go to work,
while Mommy watched the kids.
But one day.. Daddy didn't come home.
The little ones never heard the mean words
or saw the bruises and cuts covered in makeup.
Never saw what happened behind closed doors.
Mommy tried to work,
the older kids did chores.
After they paid bills, no money was left over.
The broken family was poor..
No more playing or having fun;
all that was done.
The kids that left barely returned,
since mother fell ill.
What happened to perfect?
