Mr.Brownstone
Mr. Brownstone blows through towns
To snatch your kids from their playgrounds
He'll lure them in with a taste or two
You'll find there is nothing that you can do
You can beg and pray and even cry
And wait for the day your junkie will die
Open your arms and be the pillar of caring
But needles were always meant for sharing
Hide your money and lock the doors
And watch your kids become dope whores
Isolate them and push them away
Because you can't bear to see them this way
As you sit by the phone with a haunting thought in your head
That the next time it rings...It's because your kid's dead
Think of the first day of school when you wept
And all the fingerprints you wish you had kept
The coloring book pictures and winnie-the-pooh
Planting flowers and trips to the zoo
Flying kites on brilliant days
And making costumes for school plays
Every kiss that ever touched your heart
How long each hour was when you were apart
Remember the toys and dirty socks on the floor
Receiving smiles and wanting more
Matchbox cars and Barbie dolls
Crocodile tears with slips and falls
Playdough stuck to your slippers at night
Crossing the street with your hand held tight
Felt, construction paper and crafts to do
And all the times you heard "I love you."
Inside out shirts in the laundry pile
And all the times that shirts made you smile
Birthday cakes and wishes come true
Learning to love by watching you
Worms in pockets and daisies in hair
And dressing up Mr. Teddy Bear
All the cute little songs you both would sing
Now willing to die for the the phone not to ring
For if it does...your worse nightmare come true
Your chold won't hear "I still love you."

I enjoyed reading your poem. It has meaning and I could relate to the words.

A rude awakening for any parent. Scary stuff.
Glad you didn't get to graphic too! Thanks

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.
