[bodytext] => Wow daddy how many drinks have you had,
Dont yell at mommy you should know why shes mad
Be careful tonight daddy please dont drink and drive,
I need you here daddy i need you to stay alive
Is it worth the risk of losin control,
Is it worth the risk of lookin like a fool
One more drink No I think you had enough,
Slow down Daddy your bodys not that tough
Its seven o clock Dad guess its time for a beer,
Its seven o clock Dad do you even know were here
Pour your drink and watch the T.V,
Although you deny this does affect me
I walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night,
I see you passed out on the chair i question if your alright
You say you drink to help you sleep,
Well alcohol can take you in one sweep
Well look dad our family fell apart,
Look at how your weakness attacked my heart

I hope your dad is still alive, and that you sought help for him, good choice of words

Wow, this is really good. Have you thought about sending this to the AA Program. This would be very powerful in helping others see what they do to their families.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
