Bipolar Was a New Name

Ky was my first child, sweet and wonderful.
He was the one who wanted everything perfect ...

His hair, his clothes, his room, and his family.
A finer boy you would never see.

As a little boy, he was a wonder;
Smart in school and was no trouble.

He was loved deeply by his brothers,
His dad, and especially his mother.

Away to college he went, one day.
It broke my heart, needless to say.

Suddenly, he drastically changed.
No one could understand why he did these things.

To the doctor we went.
Then, the heartache came.
Bipolar was a new name.

These things we do not understand.
Why did our child have to suffer this disease?

His medication he would not take.
His life he did, Oh, what a mistake.
