It's not too late. For Julie.

Maybe it's foolish. To try to change anyone.  Better to let them be. Maybe that even goes for my dear friend Julie. The drunk. Riddled by depression.  Just let her be.  Love her for what she is. A basically decent human being. With foibles. We all have destructive faults. Of one kind or another.  Could be argued, of course, that some people should be saved from themselves. And it would have been best.  For society. For everyone. Take Adolph Hitler, for instance. Anyway, let's be practical. Julie is real. At this very moment.  It's not too late. To change Julie's course. --Jim Broede
