"light At the End of the Tunnel"
She grew up in the florida sun,
and started using drugs for fun;
To heighten the party and to "fit in",
she didnt know she'd end up on a limb;
During her marriage she continued with pot,
but encountered problems and untied the knot;
She went on with her life, she was a mom with two kids,
what was best for her children is what she did;
She met a man and there feelings soared,
she had two more children-now there were four;
One day running late she took her son to school,
her life changed that day as fate would rule;
Snow had fallen heavy and began to melt,
the schools skylight had fallen and great pain she was dealt;
An injury to her neck this caused,
she was prescribed medication to give her pain pause;
Relief from the pain was what she sought,
an addiction to pills was what she caught;
Which brought legal issues that she did not forsee,
when all that she wanted was to be pain free;
From all that addiction ultimately cost,
to regain her childrens trust that she'd lost;
To learn to manage her pain and be.....A mother whos once again "drug free".
