Death / Faith

I was a heroin addict

Soon I was going to die

But my buddy took me in

and saved my life

Many months passed

I only smoked grass.

My cousin came to see me

We met after ten years

Two weeks later,

I found my faith

when he died in my arms

of heart failure

Maybe my buddy lost his faith

when his daughter was born quadriplegic
