Poem
Son What Can I DO by Laura Delacroix As I sit here all alone, Drifting,drifting in another zone I feel your heartache over here please take a hard look in the mirror What is it child that you see I know you just want to be free Free from the pain that has brought you here believing in your heart no one is near But just know that is not true We all see that you are feeling blue You think that there is no one you can trust But helping yourself is a must I cant make it all go away I have to leave I cannot stay Day after day I watch you suffer I have got to stop rescuing you so you can be tougher They say that I am an enabler but to me I want to help you get stabler I tried so hard but deep down inside I look at you and feel the pride To have a child as special as you please help me God I know not what to do You see son I am suffering just like you The love I feel in my heart is oh so true They say I have to walk away I have to go I cannot stay I put my life on hold praying that I could fix you There is just nothing left for me to do Its all up to you now I believe I have shown you how I have done my best-all that I can to guide you along to be a strong man I have done my part thats all I can say The balls in your court its time to get up and play Spread your wings so you can fly reach up reach out into the sky Remember son I believe in you I wish there was more I could do But the answer is yours it is not mine I can just pray to GOD that you will be FINE!!!!
