A Mothers Cry

tell me what
to do when all 
hope is lost
my child is lost
he's not the child
he use to be
i can't help him 
 i tried all that 
i knew but still
nothing he want 
open up he's all
closed in  
i love this child
that was once so dear
what happened i 
want to know
did someone hurt you 
and made you cry
i want to pertect
you with all that i have
i didn't know
that i would 
wake up and find you gone 
are you close to home
or far away just 
tell me and i'll 
come right away 
come home son
you have a 
family at home

Hang in there Doresa. You can't make decisions for him. It has to come from inside himself. Believe me, I cry for my son but it doesn't do any good. God Bless. Vince
