Happy Families

I look around me,

And all I see, are

people playing happy families.

They laugh, they smirk, they smile

at the things your expected to smile at.

I look around me,

And all I see, are

the faces of a million merry children,

Giggling in the face of their parents antics,

But, I'm walking around,

Looking ay the thousands of scenes

in play around me,

And I'm thinking,

I wish you could have put up,

More of a fight for me.

I wish you could have provided me,

with more of a story than you did;

But you couldn't do that, could you?

Because,

You never looked around you,

And you didn't see,

People playing happy families.
