Six Years Ago
Six years ago
That's when my family life changed
It wasn't for the better
It wasn't for the worst
It was just change
My mom
She got a promotion
She's gotten a lot more since
But since she's had promotions
She's been home less and less
More time spent in the office
More time in her own head
My family's taken a toll from this
We all miss my mom while she's away
My sister says she wants my mom
I say the same in my head
My dad
He tries to stay positive through it all
But I know that he is stressed
For he is a businessman, a father, and sometimes a mother
It has to fog up his head
My sister
She doesn't quite understand
That the corporate world had captured our mother
But she knows that she is supposed to see our mom more than she does
It must get to her head
Today
My family life is still different
We've all gotten used to it
It's no better
It's no worse
It's just change
