Journey 2008
She is family, you would have done the same;
If your mother cried out to you constantly in pain.
But I can't help but know we've made a mistake;
and nothing great is going to come our way.
She is a pig; filthy like a dirty beast;
the size of her forehead made us relive each feast.
You may think its funny, but not to me.
I wish we had the money so we can flee.
I love coming home, but just for a visit.
And helping someone is admirable isn't it?
I once thought this true, but not anymore.
We will never to family open that door.
So finally we got her, out on her own.
The way to live and work she was shown.
When she left we received no thank yous.
But with her out of our home we weren't blue.
I can call her so many other things but sister in law,
imagine the most dirty thing you've ever saw.
Now times it by 10 and then add four more,
and you'll understand why we are sore.
But enough of about that, her packing we sent;
and thank you for listening to me vent.
There was some goodness to be had this past year;
We bought a home and moved from the place we fear.
Its bigger and better and we got a puppy too,
although the person who gave him to us I'd like to sue.
Don't get me wrong I love him and all,
but wish he was already trained to our call.
Things are looking up, my parents health is fading,
then things good and bad begin cascading.
We started Scribbles this year as well,
Its been a long journey as you may very well tell.
Overall I'm happy, a few things I need to work out.
But mostly goodness will come no doubt.
So that was my year all wrapped with a bow;
Till next year I'll see what seeds we'll sow.
