Fear and Truth

To see your child lying there Makes him not helpless But us, as the parents, helpless A cold hospital gurney is not a bed It is a wake up call not only for the victim But for all those who love him The pain The thoughts, The prayer The choices What direction do we go in now? Can we work together to avoid this again? Did we bring him to this, or Is it that influence that teenagers feel? It matters not, For the parents love So dictates the parents guilt and worry We will constantly love our children Despite their choices We will constantly smile when seeing them Despite their choices We will constantly welcome them into embrace Despite their choices We are weak due to the love we have We are stronger too, by the love we share
