What Happened To the Family

What happened to the family That I used to know once surrounded by loved ones now i stand alone, cousins that used to play now dont speak a word and when I need advice Not one voice is heard sisters that at a time Would move mountians With just one call Are now just dusty pictures Hanging on the wall all Of our family reunions now take place at the funeral home and it seems like we all forgot how to use the phone Instead of showing love hate is spread around and instead of lifting up We bring each other down What happened to the family That i used to know This is not how it should be Where did everybody go grandpa is no longer here and grandmas not doing great Family we need to fix this Before it is to late
