Broken Dreams
Corina H. Ramirez 1964 (San Angelo)
We come from a broken home
I never knew my father,
and was very young
to even remember my mother.
My dreams were to have
a very big family,
with lots of love
and living very happily.
But things don't ever
happen the way we plan,
they all left their separate ways
and where do I stand.
Then along the way
we made mistakes,
some we're not proud of
to many to rake.
Here's to all of my family
whom I love very much,
and I miss you all
with all a great bunch.
So this is my story
and this is my song,
my dear sweet family
where did we ever go wrong.
