family

born internal without belief.

to wonder of those so close.

mother without thought would save

coming out the womb no right

left freestanding with no love

dad left strong ,mother went with fear.

I'm still left standing

a kid without my dad strong arm

or my mother hope of faith

im doom to live without guidance

how could live in love who could not betray.

but I'm the only one,

but my sisters 

but we forget what we will regret

if we believe in one 

because family is everything.

and my sisters paid 

what I could not do in a mans world

because I was just a kid.

Thank goodness for your sisters, even though you didn’t have the love and support of your parents. A difficult situation for a child. This poem though is an appreciation of family and you understand fully the value of that. Mine are everything to me. Good to read you Mauricio. All good wishes.,

Very emotive and expressive lines you have penned in this one. I am sure so many young people are in such a situation today because of what is happening in our homes. I could feel the loss and pain. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

To be bereft of both parents at a young age would be a difficult situation for anyone. It could mean a series of foster homes. The loyal sisters spared the speaker that fate, though, and I think he will never forget it.

Thank you and merry Christmas

life, with all its many different circumstances, carries no guarantees
it is a sorry thing to have such little guidance from parents but you seem to have come through it all and quite likely it has made you a stronger person.
I hope you'll enjoy this Xmas season

You were born into a difficult life with only your sister to love and lean on...it's a tragedy to think about it, but there are ways to achieve a path that's perfect for you, not easily...your words are strong and passionate and it's always difficult growing up without guidance from your parents; at the time you were too young to understand... but somehow you either have or will have the strength and love to grow and live a satisfied life. Well done!
Warmly, B

sometimes, the time is just not right .. given patience and a well reasoned strategy and associated objectives, there's not a lot that one can not achieve .. after all, besides family and love, kindness and peace what else matters at the end of the day .. an interesting post and made me ponder .. thank you M ..
