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.

Drugs this plague that has wasted the lives of many young people and made parents and loved ones for ever suffer! A powerful emotional writing that shows the magnitude of despair dearest, Julie!
