Analysis of Friends to Family
Mitch Hagen 1992 (Vancouver)
There for my family
Here for my friends
I smile so happily,
Till the day ends.
Stray from my family,
Where are my friends?
Trust gone so rapidly
Mind starts to bend.
Worried is my family
Careless are my friends
Start to lose sanity
Memories start to blend.
Help from my family
Support from my friends
All come so naturally
It's wisdom to lend.
