Fought through adversity and smiled out loud.
Little did they know as dreams eased their way
how life would change that one fateful day
The call rang through on his cell phone
but words were in person that knocked them all down
Life cracked apart and was never the same
Military supported and people all came
The cracks proved to large and the family lost heart
those rifts came slowly that tore them apart
Days came and went as the years passed by
Holidays were met with heavy hearts and sad sighs
Those angry last shouts , words without thought
caused the family to fall now holidays are not.
