Son What Can I Do

Son What Can I DO by Laura Delacroix 
As I sit here all alone,
Drifting,drifting in another zone
I feel your heartache over here
please take a hard look in the mirror
What is it child that you see
I know you just want to be free
Free from the pain that has brought you here
believing in your heart no one is near
But just know that is not true
We all see that you are feeling blue
You think that there is no one you can trust
But helping yourself is a must
I cant make it all go away
I have to leave I cannot stay
Day after day I watch you suffer
I have got to stop rescuing you so you can be tougher
They say that I am an enabler
but to me I want to help you get stabler
I tried so hard but deep down inside
I look at you and feel the pride
To have a child as special as you
please help me God I know not what to do
You see son I am suffering just like you 
The love I feel in my heart is oh so true
They say I have to walk away
I have to go I cannot stay
I put my life on hold praying that I could fix you
There is just nothing left for me to do
Its all up to you now
I believe I have shown you how
I have done my best-all that I can
to guide you along to be a strong man
I have done my part thats all I can say
The balls in your court its time to get up and play
Spread your wings so you can fly
reach up reach out into the sky
Remember son I believe in you
I wish there was more I could do
But the answer is yours it is not mine
I can just pray to GOD that you will be FINE!!!!

LBD...vivid emotion...line by line, I can feel this beautiful poem...resolute strength abounds in this heartfelt plea...I have been on both sides of this fence...at age 60 with grown daughters I have empathy for what I put my parents through and my own challenges, good work! jimbo
