Raising a child isn't easy,
It's a difficult thing to do,
And sometimes they don't turn out the way
You always wanted them to.

But with all your love and guidance,
Sometimes you can't compete
With the pressure from their friends
Or the pushers on the street.

And when they start to shut you out,
It's just so hard to cope
With the harsh sting of reality
That your child is taking dope.

And unlike scrapes and scratches,
The pain that's caused by drugs
Is something you can't soothe away
With kisses or with hugs.

Someday soon the phone may ring
And jar you from your sleep
And you'll find you just lost someone
That you tried so hard to keep.

The signs were there and you saw them.
Was there more you could have done?
You fought the war on drug abuse
But somehow, the drugs had won.
