TO MY CHILD

THE DAY YOU WERE BORN

MY HEART ACHED SWEETLY

FULL OF PROMISE AND HOPE

I LOVED YOU COMPLETELY

THE SWEET ACHE CONTINUED

AS I WATCHED YOU GROW

I PATCHED UP YOUR BOO-BOO'S

PLAYED WITH YOU IN THE SNOW

YOU GREW INTO A TEEN

AND THE SWEET ACHE STILL GREW

YOUR PLAYED SOCCER, GUITAR

FELL IN LOVE A TIME OR TWO

I WISH I COULD PINPOINT

WHEN THAT SWEET ACHE GAVE WAY

TO A PAIN AND A FEAR

FOR YOUR LIFE EVERY DAY

THAT SWEET ACHE  I HAD

FULL OF PROMISE AND HOPE

HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A HATRED

OF A MONSTER CALLED DOPE

PLEASE GOD, HELP MY CHILD

THERE'S NO MORE I CAN DO

I'LL KEEP LOVING HIM

BUT GIVE HIM OVER TO YOU



Another Day, Another Damn Drama

My daughter informed me this morning that 4 dollars was missing from her wallet Saturday. She said she checked and rechecked but yes, it is missing.  My son has been working and just got paid on Friday. She is very insistent that the money is gone. Of course, as soon as she dropped me at work i called my son and told him what his sister said about missing money. He is adamant that he did not take her money. I told him that she is positive it is missing and if it comes to light that he took it , there will be consequences. He got very angry, said he is working and has his own money, why would he take it?
I'm tired of dealing with all of this. Thats pretty much it for now.
