A difference
January 23, 2009
A smile on his face
But such a disgrace
Under his smile
He’s crazy and wild
Numbing the pain
With a drink everyday
It’s been done so much
That it feels the same
Six eyes watch him
Day after day
These days become dim
“He’s not much of a father” they say
He says he loves them
They say it right back
But does he mean it to them?
And them to him back?
A strong family
Split apart
By a special woman
With a big heart
She watches the pain
She feels it to
She knows there is no gain
There is nothing she can do

God, I can't believe no one has commented on this one. It's amazing. It nearly brought me to tears. have a friend going through some hard times with an alcoholic father as well. I'm trying to convince her mom to let her come and live with me. Beautifully written. I hope it all works out with you friend.
