TEAR's for Family Continuity

From the moment you give birth to your child

And hold them in your arms

A circle forms around the family

And produces the strongest of bonds

The invisible ties that bind you,

Are stronger than any steel

When one of you is being ripped away

That bond becomes stronger still

If your like me,

And you understand these bonds

Than the child thieves

Don’t have free will

The invisible chains that link our hearts,

Our bodies, our memories, our souls,

Don’t simply dissolve because you believe

You have the right to seize and control

Our family is not broken…

Or it wasn’t until YOU came

And just let me state for the record

There’s nothing here for you to gain

So you can continue to throw stones at our castle

But we will never refrain!
