Your sickness has taken you so far away

My son i miss you so much

I wish a little boy you would just stay

But you chose your own life

I have to let go of you for some time

This just breaks my heart

Cause you must have to pay for your crime

and give your life a new start

Your addiction has taken over me

I can longer live like this

Through my heart this i see

I cannot make you better now

It is time to let go of my little boy

and let him be a man

cannot make you better with a toy

this i now understand

I'll walk with you through your journey

and always help you stand tall

But YOU have to make the decisions

Only you can make the change

I'll wait here forever for you to come back

The man you want to be

I will never give up hope on you

This you will always see

I'm sorry for your sickness son

But only you can make the change

Remember Son to love yourself

And hold your head up high

You can do it my dear!!!!!!

Only you........................................

Your gone so far away Please come back to me

Love your mommy forever and ever

made me cry ....... Hugs Trish

That was so touching poem. I can't imagined if ever I can do the same thing.. Writing a poem while crying..

That was a beautiful poem, thank you so much, jenn

Beautiful words! Really struck a chord with me. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt... I was fortunate enough to help my son (with the help a a brilliant bail bondsman who made it a condition of his bond) get into treatment. After a 8 month inpatient stint (yes... EIGHT months... There were a few bumps along the path...) he has now been clean for almost two years. I am saying a little prayer right now that your boy gets through this too. If only love could make it all better.... ((hugs))

I am shedding tears because this describes us all at some point and time..beautiful and so hear wrenching..hugs.
