Overdose
Reaching for you
I can’t reach far enough
Calling for you
You can’t hear my voice
Skin gray, cold sweaty
Hunched, squatting, unconscious
Found you baby boy
You were 40 but my baby
I watched you stop breathing
My heart almost stopped beating
Called 911 they came quickly
3 shots of Narcan brought you
Back to me, I wanted to hug you
I wanted to beat you at the same time
It was a horrific sight to see
But worse was seeing your babies
Their reactions, tears flowing
Down their little innocent faces
That day I seen you leave
I never wanted any other mom
Any other children to witness
That day you drew a line in the sand
I had to choose my grandchildren
Over my child, you were grown
They were babies, broke my heart
Cried enough to water the lawn
Thankfully you got help, you needed
That was five years ago, now clean
Now Daddy in full force, present
Overdosed seven times, brought back
Praying for all who suffer addiction
Praying for family members, effected
Please reach out if you are in this space
I too was an addict. Clean for 41 years
I have been on both sides of the fence
I know a really good recovery program
It worked but I understand the person
Has to be ready to commit themselves
