Excellent Lament about my son's life My Book of Poems 2010-2017 : Prayers for Gregory by Mustang Patty Artwork by Renate-Bertodi at FanArtReview.com

He's still my little boy Though he lives far away He's grown into a man Gone from where I stay   Once a source of joy My youngest son Thought drugs were a toy And now they've won   I can't let him come home Don't enable him they say So the streets he does roam Living day by day   Prayers for recovery So once again he'll be Happy and healthy And home with me   Recognized Author Notes This poem is based in truth. My son, Gregory, is addicted to crystal meth. He moved to Minneapolis about two years ago. Since he left, he has only come to visit for about 4 days. In that time, I was horrified at the extent of his addiction. Everyone has told me I can't enable the disease, so all I can do is pray. Thank you, Renate-Bertodi for the use of your artwork, 'Distress'
