Flesh and Blood

BlessedbyGod

Flesh and Blood doesn't seem to mean a thing,

Especially to my family, seem like to my family don't mean anything,

I tried to reach out but got nothing but dead air,

It's only obvious that I'm not worth their care,

Flesh and blood, I thought nothing could break the bond,

I guess I was wrong, it goes way beyond,

I don't understand how family ties could break so quick,

By the passing of time of a watch , tick tick,

I watch my family drift far away from me,

I wish I could understand it, that i would see,

What I did that was so horrendous to deserve to be treated in this way,

But I guess that's it, I've nothing more to say,

Except that at least  I have my husband and a God that will never leave,

I must keep pressing forward and always believe,

I know that He will never leave me or forget that I was born here,

He will always love me and forever draw me near,

He gave me a love to surrender my heart,

He saved me from myself and gave me a new start,

So now I must move forward and not look back,

The past is the past and I must never look back.

    You must move on Melissa, I know something about how you feel as it has happened to me with one member of my family and I don't know why but I have a good life as I just accept it and move on.

              Oh lol, an eccentric church passed round a literal hat. They may be 'better now' if they 'keep taking the tablets!' (not eating the stone tablets Moses was given).
