A poem of thanks for everyone on SR

Thank you

I've got aching legs, and my feet are sore.
Ain't got no money and I may be poor.
But I've got something that money cant buy.
A new pair of wings and I'm going to fly.

This time last week I was rolling in and out.
Of noisy bar rooms with a yell, and with a shout.
But it ain't much fun when you wake up in a cell.
The alcoholic life is a private hell.

Then I found some friends, on an internet site.
The future looked bleak, but something seemed so right.
Their words of wisdom, and their words of hope.
Took my pain away and they're helping me to cope.

So I just wanna say, I owe you all so much.
You gave this beat up car a brand new clutch.
Now it's a world of light, and a world of discovery.
Thank you my friends on SoberRecovery
