Come Back My Son

I first held you upon my breast I tasted ultimate love Head still damp and smeared with blood This gift sent from above I watched you grow into the boy With pride my heart did glow Such hope for you I had back then Your childhood seemed to flow As high school came you did excel Bright future was ahead A handsome boy, you had the charm Even caught girls in your bed Adult hood you started well two children with fair maid A handy man with nimble hands Your future path now laid I heard one day you tried THE drug Experiments, I thought I had no fear I raised you well Hope you learned from all I taught The years did pass, I watched you lose Everything that you had gained I failed to help you my sweet son I'm here completely pained Don't ever think my love has died Of that you can be assured I just can't let you in my heart Till your addiction's cured
