The pain of seeing <br />Your own child <br /> <br />Influenced by drugs <br />Sends a dagger <br />Through your heart <br />And rips away at your soul <br /> <br />You think to yourself <br />Where did I go wrong? <br />Why would he let himself be this way? <br /> <br />You cry a mountain of tears <br />And think you're a failure <br />As mum, a parent <br />To the one child you love the most <br /> <br />But then you remember <br />What it was like <br />To be so young <br /> <br />Experimenting, and finding out <br />That the sins of life <br />Are just that way <br />It's part of everday life <br /> <br />So with determination <br />And heart full of love <br />You explain to your child <br />The mistakes you made <br /> <br />And hope and pray <br />That he will know <br /> <br />Regardless of all the mistakes <br />You will always love him anyway<br /><br />Kaila George<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/influenced-by-drugs/
