The pain of seeing
Your own child
Influenced by drugs
Sends a dagger
Through your heart
And rips away at your soul
You think to yourself
Where did I go wrong?
Why would he let himself be this way?
You cry a mountain of tears
And think you're a failure
As mum, a parent
To the one child you love the most
But then you remember
What it was like
To be so young
Experimenting, and finding out
That the sins of life
Are just that way
It's part of everday life
So with determination
And heart full of love
You explain to your child
The mistakes you made
And hope and pray
That he will know
Regardless of all the mistakes
You will always love him anyway

I would like to translate this poem
Raising your son cannot be easy, especially where drugs are concerned. Hopefully, he will stop taking drugs now, before it gets too difficult and addictive. This could well happen. You are right in that a parent's love for their children should be unconditional. 'You will always love him anyway'.
