Addict

Our baby son
A man on the run
Embarrassed
Ashamed
He proclaimed
No need for this abuse
Love he will always know
Mistakes all around
We pray one day
This family will be found
Over and done
Clean and sober
A good life awaits
Forgiveness
Love
Happiness
To the addict and his family today

This is a message with so much hope. Living with addiction, or getting free of it, is such a hard struggle. Welcome to PoetrySoup
