I am often flooded with awe
& wonder
I was drowning in the affliction
Of my addiction
& I was saved from going under
Pulled back from the gates of death
Using my last breath
To Proclaim my pain
Truly lost – body and mind
It was full flight from reality
Just waiting to die
Alcohol was just one
Of my many masters.
The world kept on going
But I didnt think I would
Remorse, Horror, and Hopelessness
In such quantities – It is incredible!
The pain is simply unforgettable
How dark it is before the dawn
The night stretched before me cold & long
My human will
Would always fail
Until my roots grasped new soil
& I would set sail
Upon a foundation of complete willingness
All I had to do was embrace
God’s freely given grace.
