The Addict and the Abused

The addict has lost all control, The abused keeps faith deep within the soul, To the addict,the pain given is seldom aware, To the abused,the scars remain because we care! The addict loses everything one day, The abused loses love;and,continues to pray! The world is such a wonderful place, How many souls' will disappear without a trace? Lord,help the addicts' before it is too late, Please stop deaths'from being the pitiful fate!

Kelley. This poem hits home with me in a huge way. Praying is the MOST any of us can do. This is well stated! Blessings! Gwendolen
