One Million Broken Souls

We live in a world with,

one million broken souls,

many who are missing from,

they're family's lives and homes.

 

Most leave without a word,

dissapear without a trace,

wounding our gentle hearts,

a love no-one could replace.

 

Why would they leave us,

only they will know,

wish we had the chance to ask,

why they chose to go.

 

One million broken souls,

forever there will be,

for with every generation,

one million more will flee.

Powerful. There's a reminder of this reality in every Big Issue - the Missing Persons section is a heartbreaker. Glad your own situation is working out, Thomas.

Yeah, I hear that Isobel. There's a lot of broken homes these days, marriages don't often last long anymore, and that can have a big affect on kids. I can understand the step parent thing too, I didn't get on greatly with my step father. Luckily for me, my partner and my daughter get on like a house on fire.

This is a sad one TJ. I think often a lot youngsters move out and on because they can't hack a parent's new partner. Where the blame lies you can't always know. Teenagers can be hard to bring up, much harder for a step partner, I'd imagine. It's very sad when they vanish without trace though. That's can't be an easy thing for any family to live with.
