My bones are weary
My brain yearns
For sleep but alas
I sit alone and ponder
The moments of my day
The conversations
Words spoken
And abandoned
A child’s tears
A mother’s sigh
The phone call
With the news
I’d rather forget
If only Father Time
Could wind the clock
Back for us
And the one my
Heart breaks for
Please dear God
Keep him close
Keep him safe
Free him from
The demons that chase him
In the darkness
And the shadows
*****
For those with loved ones who struggle with addiction, you’ll understand the heartbreak and worry. He was found and is safe!
