Why Poem by andrew reeves

I saw a man beg for help as his life came to be
I saw a woman ask for mercy as she fell to her knees
I saw a young boy grow up changing all his ways
I saw the same man pray to God for his daughter to come back
I saw a family reunited picnic in the fields
And from the roots of many trees came the stems that bared the fruits
And from the fruits that they all lacked came the gifts that they needed most
Till this day they keep a pact that there old habits wont cause them to choke

They don't know how they got that way
Why everything was so hard
Why the things they chose not to say
Were the things that broke them apart
