My sister and I were told to just wait patiently with him in line.
It nearly drove us insane how you would always take your time.
A little older and to others it always lookked,
That you'd get away with just about anything you could.
Your teenage years were not the best,
Without others to guide you, you were put to the test.
I wish you'd just made the choice to just say no,
But instead to escape you decided to give drugs a go.
I know in my heart that you made the wrong choice ,
Because there was no gentleness anymore in the sound of your voice.
These chemicals have destroyed the sweetest soul and changed you into an angry young man,
Your family had no choice but to take the matter out of your hands.
Your in hospital now under the best of care,
It broke our hearts to put you there.
What else could we do but help you out,
Your our brother and you should never have any doubts,
That we'll love you till the end of time,
Our hopes are that one day soon we'll see those beautiful blue eyes shine.

Love doesn't always mean making the easy choices but there is strength in love greater than any drug. Hold true and in the end you will se those blue eyes again.

Nice write.
