Always One Family

                                                 

Once upon a time a man and a woman became husband and wife

This means they should stay together for the rest of their life

Then something special happened in the month of May
Two little babies were born to them on the very same day
When two babies are born to a mother at the same time
They are called twins and sometimes the names will rhyme
These two babies were not alike one was a girl the other was a boy

They gave the boy the name of Jonah the little girl they named her Joy

The family lived happy for a long time in a big house that was their home

Then they noticed when their parents talked to each other it was in a loud tone
They overheard their parents say we always fight we do not need to be together anymore
By this time the twins had just had a birthday they had now turned nine
When the world as they had always known now was not so very fine

The parents overheard the children talking in their rooms on a rainy day
Maybe we are doing something mean for them to be fighting in this bad way

So the parents decided it was time to let the kids know they were getting a divorce
That a change in their life will happen soon but one family they would still be of course
Your father and I we fuss so much that we do not want to live in the same house together
Its nothing you two have said or done and we both will be in your lives forever and ever
Because you will now live in two different homes we both will still be caring for you in every way
Which ever parent has you own their week will still fix your breakfast and help with homework everyday

Just think of how exciting it will be for you two to go to a new house every other week
And have separate toys and clothes at each home you can get to keep

With the divorce the children felt better because their parents had promised thing will be okay
And they could see each parent on any day

So in two different homes the children grew up without any problems at all



Now came the time the twins were grown and it was time for college in the fall
But this time the two of them when the left home they were not afraid because over the years the one thing they did learn
A divorced family they had become but both parents took equal parts in their lives without a single concern
