An oath we all agreed to,
Set the foundation for us to begin,
At ease our minds were put,
Together we talked freely.
Though we come from many paths,
Intertwined we have now become,
United in one commonality,
Our struggles have just begun.
We listen intently to others,
Trying to find what we can use,
Not all that is said will be implemented,
A lot will be filtered through.
Exposed to each other we now are,
Alone we are no more,
The healing has to start with in,
Only with help can this be done.
New tools to learn,
Have back up plans,
Mistakes will still be made,
After all we are still human.
The key thing to remember,
Is what’s really at stake,
A happy productive family,
Or your childen being taken by the state!
