ONE LOST CHILD

You have heard the maxim that it takes a village to raise on child. Well we failed on this one. I have seen a few lost children. I call them children because at their young age they know nothing of the world, life, or how to get along. Sadly this one chose to leave school before his education was complete. To borrow from my favorite movie he was not yet a jedi and was seduced by the dark side of the force. By that I mean those pleasurable activities that take our young people away from us. They then follow a path of destruction rather than construction(of their lives). What fate awaits this lost child I do not know. but most likely it wont be pretty. I know of one case that took a lost one to jail, youth home, lockup, and a poor future. He would be the first to tell you that he pulled himself out by his boot straps and it was damn hard. This new lost child may not be so lucky. I truly hope he is, and I know that his Grandpa hopes he will. It makes me very sad to see a child wasted more so than almost any other thing because its so tragic and unchangable. I hope this child can fix it.
