EVEN IN DEFEAT YOU GET DELIGHT
THE PRAISE OF HIS NAME
YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

A Year Forward
to Celebrate
TODAY I CELEBRATE MY YEAR
IT HAS NOT BEEN FULL OF FAITH AND CHEER
IT STARTED WITH DOUBT
AT SEABROOK REHAB
TWENTY-SIX DAYS
OF DOUBT AND FIGHTING ALL THE WAY
I REALIZED I WAS SICK
NOT ONLY WITH ALCOHOL BUT EMOTIONS HAD NO BLISS
I KNEW I NEEDED MORE HELP
SO AFFINITY ONE WAS THE CARDS I HAD BEEN DEALT
I HATED IT A FIRST
I WANTED TO LEAVE STOMPING
WITH LONELINESS, ANGER I FELT I WOULD BURST
AS TIME WENT BY
THE COUNSELORS, FELLOWSHIP AS A GUIDE
TOOK MY MEDICINE
IT IS OKAY TO LOOK BACK FROM WHERE I HAVE BEEN
I FOUND THE COURAGE AND DUG RIGHT IN
AND REALIZED IT WAS NOT ALL MY SIN
AFTER FORTY DAYS
I HAD TO LEAVE, HAD RESISTANCE AND DISMAY
TO AN OXFORD TO LIVE
AND IOP I CHOSE TO DIG IN
TIME WENT BY
FAITH AND HAPPINESS STARTED TO ENTER MY LIFE
MY THERAPY, GROUPS AND POETRY
WAS THE LIFE I NEED TO LEAD
DAYS ONE BY ONE WENT BY
TRUST ENTERED MY LIFE
MY POETRY MADE A
