Damn the beast that came to take my boy I never saw it stride Never heard the jiggle of the latch But ever was it deep inside His younger years, I always seemed to sense Those dangers lurking low And even when I failed to fend I caught at least the glancing blow But damn that beast that slipped me past Sheltered by the one I love Would give my very life for his I would! I would! I would! Now the cruelest twist of fate In my sweet boy’s body reigns A vicious rage against his loveliness Coursing through his tender veins An evil so insidious An evil without equal kind Till up his precious cord of life It filled a beautiful mind Sweet poison now his only hope Sweet poison's work begun I pray you take the beast with you Before you take my son |

Abduction? Rape? Murder? More likely drugs is the beast here. No matter, it has taken the son. Much passion here. |

This is truly sad and as a parent myself I can understand. We protect and nurture for so long and then finally have to know that so many things aren't in our control. I guess the only thing that is in our control is ... love and we can all do that no matter the circumstances. My best to you and yours. Helen |

Oh, heart-rending... I know this pain, as a parent- no, our boy did not have cancer, but many surgeries, and I know what it is to be physically sick with worry, to be wrung with anger and panic over the helplessness at their pain, their suffering, and how we would gladly take their place if only we could. My thoughts and heart and prayers are with you and your dear lil guy. . Best~ Amaryllis |

None seek brutal intoxication but for lack of hope, which is so often merely lack of information. Best wishes. |
