[ Some People With The Same Last Name ]
[ Have The Ambition To Tear Your Life Apart ]
[ Hatred Can Easily Course Through Their Veins ]
[ You Always Want Sunshine ]
[ While They Only Like It When It Rains ]
[ A Person You Meet By Dumb Luck ]
[ Could Be The Who That Always Keeps You Up ]
[ Even Though You Might Not Have The Same Blood ]
[ Doesn’t Mean You’ll Never Walk Through The Same Mud ]
[ You Can Be One Half Of A Twin Set ]
[ & Later On In Life ]
[ It Could Feel Like You Just Met ]

[ But When You Follow Your Course ]
[ You’ll Find The Family That You Need To Find ]
[ & Then You Won’t Mind ]
[ That Some Of Your Family ]
[ Did Not Start Their Life As Part Of Your Family ]

[ How Would I Describe ( FAMILY ) That Doesn’t Drop You With A
A Thud ]
[ It’s What You Make ]
[ & Every Member Does Not Always Have To Be Blood ]
[ A Family Member Could Be A Longtime Friend Who Always Had
Their Place Set ]
[ A Family Member Could Also Be This Great Person That You
Just Met ]
[ An Automatic Place @ The Table For Blood Relatives Is Not
Something They Get ]
[ & Those Are The People That Are The Most Shocked, I Bet ]
[ The First 16 Years Of My Life I Grew Up Side-By-Side With My
Bio Older Sister ]
[ But Then Drugs & Alcohol ]
[ Turned Her Into A Category (5) Tornado Twister ]
[ Wrecking Havoc Of Everything In Her Path ]
[ She Did This Just As Well ]
[ As She Used To Solve Problems In Math ]
[ She Used To Be The Good Child ]
[ With So Little Restraints ]
[ She Decided To Turn Wild ]
[ I Used To Be The Troubled One ]
[ I Did Not Want To Spend My Time Studying ]
[ I Wanted To Play Sports & Have Fun ]
[ We Were Both Given The Same Chances ]
[ She Decided To Spend Her Weekends Smoking & Drinking ]
[ While I Enjoyed Going To The School Dances ]
[ She Used To Be Strong ]
[ I Wonder ]
[ If She Ever Wonders Where It All Went Wrong ]
[ Does She? ]
[ Or Doesn’t She? ]
[ I Wonder, What That Answer Would Be ]
[ Either Way, I Have Put That Question Behind Me ]
[ While I Was Competing In Sports ]
[ She Was Off Drinking ]
[ & Doing Snorts ]
[ She Would Be Telling Me Lies ]
[ If She Said That It Wasn’t Because Of Those Bad Boy Guys ]
[ That Lived Down The Street ]
[ Weren’t Those The Ones That She Snuck Out In The Middle Of
The Night To Meet ]
[ Instead Of Spending The Last 25 Years Working On A
Relationship With My Wife ]
[ I Could Have Just As Easily Been Sucked Into That Life ]
[ Anybody Could Have ]
[ But … Just Anybody Would Have? ]
[ In My Younger Years, I Tried A Thing Or (2) ]
[ But Then I Told Myself That Wasn’t Anything That I No Longer
Wanted To Do ]
[ I Had Times When I Sunk ]
[ I Had Times When I Got In A Funk ]
[ But I Did Not Turn Those Times Into Being A Drunk ]
[ I Have Survived The Worst Of Times ]
[ I Have Survived After Being Down To My Last Dime ]
[ Right Now, I Have Been Blessed With The Ability To Write Stories
That Rhyme ]
