    A Crack Addict's Prayer
    Dear God:
    Please take away the taste of crack
    Take it away and don't let it come back
    I'm tired of stealing, lying & cheating
    I'm tired of taking all those beatings
    From my mate who's alwayshigh
    Sometimes Lord, I want to die
    Help me to say I don't want "No More"
    Before I have another run in with the law
    My children are hungry and I'm on my knees
    Begging you Father to hear my pleas
    Take away my need for that little bag
    Before it has us dressing in rags
    I ask you Fatherto do this for me
    Take away the taste and set me free!!


    Dedicated: To All those who are still struggling with this disease

    I'm in a predictament where I really need the lords help yet I fight back and forth, with inner emotions on things of my past as well. Just keep writing and the want and need of this all God will take away from you.

    I thank you for taking time to read and comment, I love your work!!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
