FAMILY STRIFE, by                    
First Line: There was one who called her wife
Last Line: The fabric of her heart.


There was one who called her wife;
One, who called her mother.
Each laid hands upon her life
And pulled against the other.

Neither one would ease the strain
Lest he should lose his part.
Hands that loved her, rent in twain
The fabric of her heart.
