The Maze of a Missing Mom
Mike's mom made a multitude of missteps;
Starting strong, she strode straight into struggles.
Calvin convinced her to try crack cocaine.
Love lost: little Mike led a lonely, leery life.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Love located: lessons learned, the law leads.
Calvin's court convicts him of concealed crimes.
Starting strict substance-abuse stance shows strength,
Mike's mom meets major milestones: mental, moral, and mutual.
