What a waste his life has been, At such an early age he turned to sin. In his hands he once held the key To be anything he wanted to be.
He had the brains and he had the ability He was a fearless man out at sea. On the sports arena he was superior, And while at school others felt inferior.
For many years he did lots of time Paying for his life of crime. Yet when he stayed away from the drugs, One almost wanted to shower him with hugs.
To us, he is still a boy with a gentle soul, Whenever his addiction, he is able to control. What a dim future he now faced... If only his life wasn’t such a waste!
A very heartfelt poem Jenni. My sister is going through this with her son..its devestating.I'll keep your brother in my prayers.

My youngest sister has the same problem, but she doesn't think anything is wrong with her. She blames all of the ones who love her.
Well written Jenni........

If only his life wasn’t such a waste!
I feel this strongly.. Give time.. let this person make his own mistakes.. let fate lead him.

It hurts when we see people we care about make wrong choices. All we can do is be there for them when they figure it out.
A wicked Cajun Fairy named Robes Pierre entered the impenetrable Magical doll land of Sha Bebe. Queen Faustina, the ruler of the doll land, thought she had destroyed him, but he's back! Will the doll land survive his evil ways?
