| Just some words that rhyme
Remembering the times when I was a child
Running around, acting wild
Feeling the wind blowing through my hair
Sometimes I wish I could go back there
Back before drugs, alchohol ,and raids
Back before the sleepless days
Back when you worried if you could afford that lolli pop!
Back before your head turned everytime you saw a cop
Back before the nightmares entered your sleep
Back before bills were unpaid, stacked knee deep
Back when your family loved, and laughed as one
Back when you thought, our family cant be undone!
But little did we know the paths our lives would take,
That drugs and alchohol would seal our fate
Some will reach out for help which feels like a risk
Others will die, trying to find that fix.
Families are broken, still some still remain
But one thing ever present is the constant pain
But let us remember what we can do
That this isn't the end of the line for me and you!
Reach out for once and say a prayer
Heavenly father will always be there!
Take the strenght that he offers and put it to use
Put down the drugs the booze, make a decision for you!
Take care of yourself , but most of all
Remember what a gift you are to us all.
Your stories they help us get thru the night
Each 24 hours ,or even a minute at a time
Remember what blessings come when you serve
Answer someones question, or just tell them you heard!
And remember each night when you thank you higher power
Here you are again..... you made another 24 hours!
