It took hold of you. Satan has his last laugh. The chains of addiction brought hell into my world, your world, our world. I protected you as a child but the lure of sweet death was hiding in the distance disguised as the cool kids, the rebels and the ones needing saving. You saw the good in all but there is no good in the pits of hell. I try to reach and grab your hand. I think you fell into the pits of hell too far. Only you can reach for my hand. Are you there? I only see the shadow of your hand are you there ? I Love You
a great poem. true feelings. it goes deep. and I can relate to what you are feeling and seeing by this horrible addiction. it's like them being in the pits of Hell and you are there too but not in the pit itself but you are holding out your hand for your child or loved one to grab it, but they can't or won't at the moment. This drug is definetly from satan without a doubt. but God is stronger. the light is stronger than the darkness. Satan can't win over Gods children. So there IS a chance that your loved one WILL reach out their hand for you to pull them out of the pit.
you are wonderful for always being there with arms out stretched. like how God is to us. when ever we are ready, he or it, is there. When the student is ready, the teacher will come. It is your loved ones life. it is up to them to make the move. not you. but the chains can be broken. Pray that they will. picture in your mind every day that your loved one is out of the pit of hell and getting help with their addiction. Satan will NOT win.

Granny,
I've read your replies to other people and you are one awesome gal. You sound loving and full of good spirit. plus you have a wealth full of knowledge and compassion for others. Hope to keep hearing from you. when i read the poem above, I too read it twice, and the feeling that comes through the words is what I wrote back to her about. I might not be right on my understanding of what the poem meant, but it sure felt like how I feel about what I'm going through with my youngest daughter (age 25)and her combat with heroin addiction. it's horrific. like what hell would be like. I feel I've been reaching out my hand to her for so long and if only she'd just GRAB IT!!! but I know now by learning that it's not my hand that can save her. the truth of it really hurts me. because as a parent and being a mother, all we've ever known and done with our kids is help them. It's our instinct to want to save them and protect them from harm. so I found it almost impossible to not be directly involved like a vicious circle. I'm much calmer since I've broken that circle. all I can do now is hope and pray. I wish you well.
