"Would he do it again"

There was a time,
 he didn't have a thought about life  
No opinions on what happened  
 good or bad  
no choice on what to do or how to feel happy or sad  
 
It was a dark time in his young life adulthood was forced upon him
at a very young age  
his emotions had to remain hidden  
 he masked his pain
and suppressed the rage  
 
His own well-being wasn't the only
 he had to look after  
 For 3 little Angels depended on his care watching over them, keeping them safe  
that's just how it was
 for him  life wasn't fair  
 
No one at times to assist in his duties they were his blood  
they were his sisters  
 he couldn't stop  
 no time to break  
 he quickly learned there was no time
to be a quitter  
 
Struggling to keep it all
from slipping away  
Losing his mind
and letting it tear him apart  
 He knew how it was supposed to be
 and how it really was  
 it's that she didn't seem to care
that really hurt his heart  
 
A young boy was developed into a man Well Beyond his years  
 little did they know his smile
 helped shade and Disguise  
his painful tears  
 
All he felt was for them,
worrying where they'd sleep
or where their next meal will come from  
Left a huge impression on his young mind  
 now that he's grown it still strikes a nerve,  
that same boy sheds a tear
 from time to time  
 
 But when he thinks back  
 to a different time
 when life show them no mercy  
he asked himself would he do it again,  
 if he could  
 for all it's worth
 and all the memories we had  
you bet your ass I would!
