The Tie that Binds

Rated "G" by the Author.

Become a Fan

bound by family

The tie that binds has in its grasp

a family held hostage tied quite fast

a strangle hold some days it seems

when its’ some freedom that you need.

and yet,

It holds you tight on coldest nights,

keeps you safe from darkest frights

and has much love in its embrace

a fathers’ strength, a mothers’ face.

When all is said and done my friends

I want to be held tight and safe

all freedoms giv’n with watchful eyes

within the grasp of binding ties.
