The Alcohol's The Blame For It All 
by Stephen Neafcy 
(Diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Effects)

Look at what's happened to me
On my way to being born into this world. 
My Mommy decided to drink alcohol, 
And my brain was a sponge
And it soaked it up,
Now I'm not thinking very well.

Brain cells where not able to form,
And alcohol is the cause of my hell.
I can't at times think for myself
And I go right into a shell. 
I can't retain what I read because 
Alcohol took away my brain cells! 
  
I run around confused 
Because of that booze,
And sometimes people can't tell,
Because I look kinda well. 
The alcohol effect is there 
Though people are unaware.
I'm misunderstood all of my life!
  
Because of this Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Effects. 
I must work harder then anyone else! 
Still the out-come does not come-out very well.
My poor Mom and Dad,
They are beside themselves. 
This Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Effects 
Is a conditon from hell. 
But even with this I at times
Have something to say,
So I ask you not to back away!

With all this said and my heart beating strong,
I don't mean to do wrong, 
Because of the booze 
My brain echo's YOU LOSE
And I turn into the alcohol's Pawn.
 
But there's hope for me yet, 
Even though this is the best it will get,
And I will never be able to say "No Sweat"! 
I have a talent somewhere 
That needs to be shared,
And it's so important
For all to be aware! 
I will search if it takes all my life 
For this talents light 
So I can shine bright for You all!

A request to You all 
from a someone who's been through it all, 
if You're pregnant or going to be,
Please think about me,
And don't take a drop of alcohol
at all!!! 

My brain its not complete,
And its never going to be,
But I have a heart that beats. 
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Effects 
Means I have dig very very deep, 
And Jesus helps me keep my Life complete!

Please abstain from drinking alcohol 
While trying to conceive 
And during your pregnancy! 
Thanks and have a healthy baby!
