Today you are you, that is truer than true.<br /> There is no one alive who is youer than you.<br /> - Dr. Seuss


Things have been hard for you, that I can understand
But why can't you admit and accept our helping hand?

You keep on going with your life, pretending it's all okay
I believe that the truth will surely catch up to you someday

You made your decision to leave it all behind
By moving away you became incredibly blind

You ignore the call and drink to forget
Something I'm sure you'll one day regret

We're always mentioning you in our prayers
Don't act like there's no one out here who cares

Please look for your self deep inside
Know that we love you and there's no need to hide

This is from a personal experience of mine and I hope people who have relatives or friends that are alcoholics can relate to this
