Im sitting at the Rocherster Minnesota library, thinking and reflecting, as ahead of me, im just not, so sure, just what to be--EXPECTING
Im just here, resting, and relaxing, but am bracing myself for, and readying, myself for, whatever--- stress,--- turmoil,--- troubles --or --strife,-- that --may --and --could --BEGIN

Im in MINNESOTA--NOW, im worried, disturbed, and troubled about my middle son, who is adrift, off track, and under-par-- away now in California from me--A-FAR
The troubles that he has been in, leaves my heart with deep hurtful, --SCAR

On our last, conversation, a phone call, that--ended in an argument-- on the 15th of October, was the last time that him and i have--SPOKE
Now, to hear, from my --youngest- two, -kids -that--he is homeless in --LA --or --San -Diego--on the streets,-- leaves --me --feeling --helpless, --troubled-- hurt,-- confused--, and. --Just--BROKE

As a--PARENT
No matter how old, your kids get and become, when they are off track, under-par, and now with my--middle-- son,-- i--hear--, homeless, --it --leaves --me --very--troubled,-- helpless --and ---BENT

Every family member, through the YEARS, has, bent over backwards trying to help him, and have taken him, in and he took advantage of everybody when they brought him --IN But --appreciation, --and --respect --and --admiration, --from --this --troubled --son, --no --one --could-- ever --seem --to---permantely---WIN

I---KNOW---THAT---HE---MUST--COMMIT---TO---CHANGE
AND--IN--HIS--LiFE--LIVING--AND--LOVE--SQUARE--HIMSELF--AWAY--HUMBLE--HIMSELF--AND--REARRANGE

As now, i hear, that he is jobless, once again, but this time--HOME-LESS--and-on-the--STREET
So i do not know if as usual, he is with the wrong, troubled group of, friends or alone on the--Street, i dont know, where he will--SLEEP

The family, we all have been trying to help him, but he cuts the hands that reaches out to him to help shelter--mentor--and-- feed--but all bridges time and time, year after year after year, he has scorched and wrongly--burned, as i know we are only--ENABLING--HIM
FOR---HE--HIMSELF--HAS--TO--REALIZE--THAT--He--NEEDS--HELP--AND--FOR--HIS--OWNSELF--DECIDE--TO--FIGHT--THE--GOOD--FIGHT--ADDICTION--FREE--AND--WIN


For any parent, the hardest thing to DO
Is to stand back wait, watch, and PRAY, for them that they will want to change,, and rearrange, their life--TOO
