The Gift of Hope
The poem, The Gift of Hope, is dedicated to all the courageous hearts that have fought hard to get sober and stay sober. May the angels watch over them and keep them under their wings.
Sobriety is a journey…
Of broken dreams….Renewed
Of withered faith…Revived
Of self esteem…Reborn.
It is a road not walked alone,
but in the company of many,
Where tears are understood,
Pain -- an avenue to freedom,
And fear an accepted response.
It is a way of life…
Where the gift encountered
Is hope.
