You are a fighter a thinker a loving dear friend
Helping to save us from alcohols end
For if you had swum to that far distant shore
You probably still would be looking for more
Your peace with yourself when sobriety started
Showed us dear Elsy ,so sweet and kind hearted
This is no picnic we each find our way
Tomorrow will be a much better today
We falter we fall with our sadness profound
Stand on two feet and feel the firm ground
For since you dropped by our lives are enhanced
From the day you saw new poems you had glanced
You could swim to that shore , you never would sink
You've pulled yourself up and had time to think
What a true gift we have since sobriety rose
On your past life shut that door let it close
Love you Elsy xx
Your poems bring me such joy, no matter what mood , bless xx
