Attachment theory

Little babies need to feel loved from the start
Else they feel starved of affection: starved of love
Left alone to lay in their cots: orphans close off
They shut down that connection for affection
If their cry is unanswered: if it doesn't work
They even stop crying after a while: just lay 
Listless, subdued: lifeless like a doll!
Many years ago an adoption was made
Twin boys: nine months of age: just lay there
Didn't cry: didn't move: nothing to prove
Felt abandoned: left to do it all alone
Until love came to take them home
Then they blossomed into sweet little boys
Brought their new parents so many joys
All was good until their teen years and then 
All hell broke loose: they couldn't cope
Understanding came about their early lives
They were distressed with their history
They just couldn't cope: went off the rails
Got up to mischief: went on their own merry way
Troubles seemed to simply multiply: didn't know why?
It all stems back to that earlier time: unhappy start
Anger & frustration came hand in hand with pain
Why didn't mum & dad want us? What did we do?
Couldn't understand the hand they'd been dealt
All that pain came flooding back: deep hurt was felt!
