Poem
Ever since I was a child and throughout my growing up All I kept saying was, Enough Mom, Enough The addiction from your drug use affected our family much Many nights I sat and cried just longing for your touch There were times I felt alone and was so in need of a hug But it was clearly obvious you were more in need of a drug To be free from addiction is a very hard thing And each day I wondered what the next would bring There's pain you're hiding deep within A pain that only God can mend It's time for change, it's needed for yourself For God can heal your hurting heart, you won't need drugs to help Repent, release and God will restore The strength to conquer this addiction and more Although I never told you cause I felt you didn't care I only wanted my mom around, but you were never there Being a child I didn't know what to think cause I was just a kid As an adult I reflect on the choices you made And everything that you did There were times at night and throughout the day I'd look for food to eat You were not there to cook for me, you chose to be in the street For the friends who come over and wanta get high It's time to tell those friends good-bye I want to know what it would be like for me To have my mom clean and drug free Every morning you awake Mom to see another day You give me more of a reason to go to God and pray The years of using drugs to me truly don't have to define For God can do the wonderful thing of redeeming us back our time Enough is Enough!
