Where has my family gone?

Last Christmas was fun and a happy time

Lots of presents from that family of mine

Changes that have happened since those happy days

I don’t understand, they’ve gone by in a haze.

No-one will tell me why my family has gone

My Dad, Gran and Papa and cousins I long

To see them again have fun, laugh and run

Hear stories of old, tell them what I’ve done.

Mum says they don’t want me, but that can’t be right

They loved me last Christmas and try as I might

I don’t know what it is that I’ve done

That’s made them stop loving me, I miss the fun.

Mum’s upset and angry and won’t tell me why

I can’t see my family I just cry and cry

She says I must try to move on like her

But why can’t I see them, I liked how we were.

I know mum and dad were fighting too much

But I didn’t fight, I love them both such

A lot and I know Dad can’t stay here

But why can’t I see him, I like when he’s near.

Mum says it’ll get better, but I don’t see how

I miss my family, can I see them now

Adults don’t care, they don’t seem to see

Why adults don’t listen to children like me?
