I lie in bed
Cat has been fed
Shall I get up
Drink coffee in a cup
Or water, instead
Does it matter anyway
Sobriety is here to stay
I feel so small
Like no one cares, at all
My sister does not call
Is this just another day
It all seems the same
So very, very tame
The drama is less
It's what I wanted, I guess
This is sober life, not a game

I have a young grandson you know,
The speed he moves makes me feel slow,
He runs jumps and plays,
Chatters all day,
But I know that one day he will grow
He will grunt when I call out his name
I'll be no longer called for a game,
The hugs disappear,
Kisses held so dear
His cowlick I'll no longer tame
In public I'll become disowned
He'll be less likely to grin than to frown
I will worry he'll drink
Or do drugs or stink
Oh lord help that teen yet unknown
I hope that in time he'll return
To a sweet sunshine boy who will learn
That hard as life is
It's better with kisses
And he'll give back the hugs that I'll yearn
I hope that he grows strong and true
With morals and principles too
To find him a wife
To share his young life
And look after me in my dotage, as is due!!!!!

My grandson turns two this week end,
At his party my help I will lend.
(A genius of course!)
I have no remorse
With him I've no drinking amends.
I quit when he was month seven
His love is like my little heaven.
The Grandmom he knows
Doesn't have drinking lows.
She drinks bubbly water with lemon!

I am sad about son one
With me, he seems done
Living across the nation
Working in high station
His heart has been won
There is work, staying late
Her desires do rate
One family is fine
No point to whine
I guess it is fate
No contact from him
Perhaps a text on a whim
The calls not returned
Feeling totally spurned
No contact from them
A wedding may take place
In another time and space
Heard about it in November
Will it be this Septmber or October
Whatever the case
No contact from them
Have gone out on a limb
Calls and texts
What is next
Acceptance is my hymn

Alas Bloss acceptance is hard,
though at times it's our decks only card
Would it not be grand
To replay our hand
And put right the times that we marred
To our children we're gods...til that day
They discover we've feet made of clay,
See the way that we're living
And are so unforgiving
Until their own children show them the way
Then they see that they can't be ideal,
That the image of themselves is unreal
In their children's rejection
They see our reflection,
The turning, my dear, of life's wheel

Thank you EQ for those lines,
Words written from the heart always find
That the pain they all share
Of emotions ripped bare
Will resonate deep in the mind
Therapy indeed, is here often found
Seeds of pain falling on fertile ground
We are safe on our thread
To express sorrow and dread
The words I read here often astound
I want to wrap everyone here in my heart
Safe from pain that might tear them apart
But In fact in the writing
Their devils they're smiting
Then rebuilding and strengthening start
And then the punning can be fun
When the joy of the words fill everyone
We are free to be silly
Can write pooh, fart and willy
And suddenly here comes the sun 🌞

Living in a lifestyle
Old life in a file
Not marred ideal
This is the deal
Past is not on trial
Once we were close
Amends, forgiveness, sweet as a rose
It is now clear
This is not about fear
More about the "pose"
Choice has been made
Sadness will fade
Keeping my side right
Is my only fight
Sobriety not up for trade
