The Lonely Path
Going my way looks like bliss
'cause I have a home in heaven
With an amazing saint of a husband
with a whole bunch of little kids
One has even grown up
Past high school into apartment
Fiancé, scholarship and all
But they don't see the siege
the stalkers, bigots, assailants
cyber bullies, child stealing old perverts
and really, so many more
all waiting outside our door
while some dig in the back way
like internet zombies buying confusion
in the hopes of stealing someone's brain
one more time....
cause someone didn't learn
They don't see the shell shock;
Seemingly meaningless isolation of two souls
trying to grow in the dark like mushrooms
so birds of prey can't steal love
from dizzying heights of manipulation
All to protect a brood in heaven...
one family under seige
just past the smoldering entrance of Hell
'cause I have a home in heaven
With an amazing saint of a husband
with a whole bunch of little kids
One has even grown up
Past high school into apartment
Fiancé, scholarship and all
But they don't see the siege
the stalkers, bigots, assailants
cyber bullies, child stealing old perverts
and really, so many more
all waiting outside our door
while some dig in the back way
like internet zombies buying confusion
in the hopes of stealing someone's brain
one more time....
cause someone didn't learn
They don't see the shell shock;
Seemingly meaningless isolation of two souls
trying to grow in the dark like mushrooms
so birds of prey can't steal love
from dizzying heights of manipulation
All to protect a brood in heaven...
one family under seige
just past the smoldering entrance of Hell

Made poignant reading this morning as I hear in news a record number of child abuse images have been caught on the internet and an estimated record high number of people have been classed as a danger to children on the internet in the UK alone.

You must still always be on your guard - family sentry duty never ends you encapsulate parenthood as it is in reality

They may grow up but never beyond our love and concern. We pray to God that he have an ever watchful, and protective eye for our three grown adults all the time. feel ya!
