The Hurt

Hurt, disappointment, shame
It hurts just to reflect on your name
Why do you do the shameful things
Bringing down our family name

You are very ill
I know the agony that you face each day
Surely upsets you in every way
But there is help if you will depend on God

He loves you and will protect you
Covering you with his love

Life can be cruel and depressing. A chemical imbalance is one cure, but, like you say, love is the answer, Congrats, Love, daver

Daver, Thanks for dropping by..Yes, sometimes all a person needs is to get on the right medications to help them feel and think better..Sometimes it is nutritional even but one can't make a grown person do anything that is unless they get a court order..Sara
