I've waited for you, to see me in the light I see you,
you never did, and now I am empty handed.
In time...in time, give her mind, body rest, give her
time to scrape away the clouds of dust that mold her heroin mind.
I've cried bitter tears, at the altar of hope, praying dearly
for your release, that you fall in healing arms, and now I am
tenderly awaiting.
In time..in time, give her mind, body rest, give her
time to scrape away the clouds of dust that mold her heroin mind.
I've walked through three police stations,with her picture in
hand, boldly confessing that this junkee is loved.
In time..in time, give her mind, body rest, give her
time to scrape away the clouds of dust that mold her heroin mind.
I've held my daughter in my arms during closed eyes of prayer,
laying her carefully down at the altar there. Struggling as a
newborn lamb afraid and weary, unable to see the love surrounding
her most preciously.
In time...in time, give her mind, body rest, give her
time to scrape away the clouds of dust that mold her heroin mind.
I've a mother's bold love, to see her in the light, healed
and whole, a stronger woman than before,
despite her anger and accusations of disloyalty.
In time..in time, give her mind, body rest, give her
time to scrape away the clouds of dust that mold her heroin mind.
Boldest of courage and strength in humility I have found,
In time...in time.
Author notes
The most important thing is that recovery is taking place, and right now..
time is not my enemy but my dearest
friend.
I have learned so much humility in this, and
didn't know how much courage you can find and dearest
of friends who offer strength and comfort who also face addictions torment of their loved ones.
It would too easy to remain silent....especially when
"discovery" is the first key to healing.
Our family has come together in a most powerful way,
confronting tears, myths, and cold fearful hearts that
think alcohol & drugs are simply "willpower" weaknesses.
2008 is almost here, "Bring on the Blessings!" is my
motto for the coming here!
May we all write powerfully and struggle to live free
of chemical dependence.
That will be the CHAMPAGNE I drink!

I am speechless and choked up. This was absolutely heart wrenching. To go through this with a child has to be the worst. I send my prayers of healing and patience for your family to come together and find the peace you all need.
Thank you for sharing your heart and I wish you much love and many blessings.
