No Two Families

No two families are alike

So we can’t really know

What happens in a household

Underneath the parts that show.

 

The habits, values and routines

Which parents first control

Aren’t visible to those outside,

Though normalcy’s the goal.

 

When children grow and leave the house

And heed their inner voice,

The power to reject or stick

With customs is their choice.

 

What I find most intriguing

Is how those from one abode

Can, as grown-ups, lead such different lives

From those their folks bestowed.
