My friend had no problem.
She only smoked weed.
It’s not too bad for her.
No rehab did she need.

But CPS got called on her.
It gave her an awful scare.
Whatever would she do if
Her children weren’t there?

Coastal Bend Alcohol & Drug Center
Is where she did go.
They call it Charlie’s Place.
Rehabilitation they know.“?”

But on the inside
Sobriety is a lie.
There were so many drugs.
They gave her a try.

My friend had no problem.
She was just a pothead.
Rehab introduced her to heroin.
Now she is dead.




Love is the law, love under will.

You weave a very sad tale with lots of truth to go with it.  I am sorry for you and your friend.

This isn't the first time
I've seen it happen before
They go in doing one thing
But they come out doing more

Sometimes they die!
