A City of Drugs
I watched as you toddled, giggled and played
dancing around with the new friends you made
crying for plasters when you grazed your knee
my little angel- the whole world to me
as you grew older I saw something had changed
prayed you would ask for help before it was too late
now sorrow surrounds me as I kneel at your grave
my rescue too late you did not want to be saved
tears that I shed and asking God why-
you never reached out- why you wanted to die
photo's fading of your smile long ago
weeds overgrow on your grave- yes, I know
its too hard to sit there and remember the way
you used to toddle and giggle and play
one day I will join you in heaven above
until then angel I hold onto your love
May God in His wisdom forgive man his sins
In this City of drugs where evil wins.
