Let Them Know You Truly Care

In the heat of our frustrations,
We, so often, cause deep hurt.
So often kids don't know we care;
They need to be alert.

I know the thought of them using,
Is a thought that's hard to bare.
Still they need to feel your love for them.
They need to know you care.

It's o.k. to hate the habit,
And the harm that it has did.
Remember it's your parent, brother,
sister, mate or kid.

Remember that this person
Has a deadly, harsh disease.
In loving them, regardless,
You will put their mind at ease.

Anger's only natural.
Control your choice of words;
Disowning type behavior
Out of anger's for the birds.

Your love and care are critical
In helping them recover.
There's quite effective caring ways,
You'll find that you'll discover.

Love's what makes the world go 'round;
Don't be afraid to share.
Despite their drug addiction,
Let them know that you still care.

The day that you stop doing that,
You make the problem worse.
Don't add another problem
To addiction's brutal curse.

Together get some conseling.
Together you can beat it.
So delicate this issue is;
Be careful how you treat it.

Love is pretty powerful,
when properly presented.
Nothing hurts while struggling,
More than knowing you're resented.
