ode to trish
a dear friend from another site wrote this for me ... i think you might like it. .................Rusty ... you know how I feel. I went to meeting today and shared it..and you were right it did help another alcoholic. After the meeting a friend came up to me and told me she drank on Thurs. and she didn't know what to do..stay in A.A. or continue drinking..I told her about Trish and I think it hit home. She spoke up in the meeting and shared that she drank and she got her desire chip. I think what I told her helped her make her decision to stay. So, as tragic as it is. Trish's death was not in vain. I'm going to post a poem that I wrote for Trish, another fallen A.A.er....Keep the faith and know she is watching....I Love You Always...Angel
Ode to Trish
~
There once was a girl so beautiful
She brighten the lives of others
Like the colors of fall
Her gentle way touched many a heart
But her love she could not feel
For she struggled with a disease
Her heart was heavy and her spirit broken
The difficulties she could not bare
So from this world she did depart
Taken with her many a heart
God has taken her away to a special place
Her radiance shines through the land
Someday we may all see her face
Then peace will be ours
The peace that she now knows
In the place where the sun always glows
