Wandering eyes
Always compromise
When glaring at the fix
Hoping trembling hands will quit
A mother cries
A father digs down deep
Will tough love be the answer
An ending that you need
Cause you are drowning
Sinking fast
Steps away from tragedy
A figment of the past
As you struggle through
The undertow
I'm waiting at surface
Hands extended from the boat
Forgiveness is
More easily achieved
When breath is still in the lungs
Take steps while not deceased
Cause tomorrow
Is a brand new day
Your life is one worth living
Won't you please be here to stay
