A Tribute To Sage Capozzi

 A Tribute to Sage Capozzi

By: Rose Barbour

His name is Sage

And I’ve never met him

But he opened my eyes

To the devastation.

Before I knew his name

Or heard his story

My life was in chaos

And full of worry.

I knew my son was sick

And on the wrong path

I was fighting like crazy

To get him back.

Along came Carmen

Full of grief

He’d lost his son, Sage

To this awful beast.

My heart broke for Carmen

And all the others

Who had to bury their children,

Fathers or mothers.

The reality of addiction

Reduced me to tears

Our children need help now

They don’t have years.

At the tender age of 20

Sage lost his life

Carmen started an Army

To take up the fight.

Sage, your memory will live on

As the Army reaches out

In your name, lives will be saved

There is no doubt.

You have a special place

Even though we’ve never met

Your death was not in vain

And the fight isn’t over yet!

Written with love for Sage, Carmen and family. Carmen is living my worst nightmare. He is the first parent I knew who lost a child to the disease. I was so sad for him. I was heartbroken that a nice young man like Sage lost his life to the terrible disease of addiction. That is why this family, who I’ve never met, will always be forever in my heart!  Please join the Army at www.sagesarmy.com
