The Drive
The drive today so long and weary
Made me feel so helpless and teary
Taking my daughter to a place called Gateway
We had to drop her off, turn, and walk away
She will receive counseling and rehab
Of this I am so very happy yet, so sad
The hardest thing I have ever had to yet
Was walking away and not lose it
Child of mine what do I say, what do I do
This is hard on you but, it's killing me too
This is ultimately for your own good
Please understand I did all I could
Remember my sweet-I love you for forever and a day
I will be thinking of you every minute that you are away
As I look into your tear filled eyes
I turn away beginning to cry
I tell you I love you and say goodbye
*This was written about 4 years ago while on the road to take one of my daughters to rehab
(her name is Shauntelle and she was 14 1/2 at the time) ...it was one of the longest days
of my life...and unfortunately when she was released after being there for almost a year
within a week she was back using. Since then she has been to other rehab facilities and
psychiatric units. It has and will continue to be a long haul.*
