My Father

I'm not proud of the things my father has done Though, I am proud of the man he has become It took him a lifetime to figure out Drugs were the poison that kept him closed out The devil feeds on fearful souls and my father's was filled with more then he knows His children long for him as he clung to the needle Drugs are the poison the devil uses to tear families apart Love is the tool that the Lord uses to bring them back together.

Yes, drugs as well as alcohol both destroy love and family, it's a crying shame. but, there is always hope in the good Lord's love. Very good write.

Your father may have done some terrible things, and in the long run you and your family may have suffered, along with his own suffering, but now, he is so much better than most, and that is probably partly because of what he went through. Life is strange indeed. A heartfelt write that must not have been easy. Love, Shar

This one really touched my heart, my son is addicted to Meth, and I have cried, begged, and now finally God has taken over, he is now going to rehab, God is good, He knows the perfect time to take over....God bless you, and your family, Always, Christy
