A Broken Home


An incomplete family morns and weeps

With little to no sleep

They think

And think

About the parent that is there no more

Forced to leave his family

For wanting to give them a better life

Sent thousands of miles way

Back to his old country he will stay

To live the rest of his days

With little to no sleep

That family thinks

And thinks

About their family that is incomplete.
