Life of a Hurt Family

What life holds for a loved one out there, Who choose the life of the dark streets, Instead of living here, What she has choose didnt make the two ends meet. My beloved little sister choose the addiction of drugs, And my mother and I sit in agony wondering when god will save her from the devils work, We miss a part of a family wishing we can give her a hug, We put all the pain and worry in the hands of the Lord. We pray that he gets her off the streets in a safe way, While she's out there throwing herself out there for the men to make money, We pray we can hold that little girl we once knew again some day, And be able to know we have that girl back and seeing she is as sweet as honey. Not have a loved one use and steal off of us, Just to know the streets won't kill my sister first, All we can do know is have faith and trust, All of this right now is just a curse. We recieve a phone call one night, The police arrested her for robbery, We finally see the light, My sister sitting in the jail house wishing she could win the lottery. God answered our prayers,its better then the death of a family member, Today I thank him and always will for saving her from the dark path she was heading to, I'm glad that her life won't hither, My sister would have killed herself and the unborn two.

Addiction hurts more than just the addict. It is a terrible thing that is happening in America and other countries. I know you think she is jail and you will know where she is and she can't get drugs. I hope that will hold true and I hope that she gets some help and the whole family can heal. Keep writing. Sara
