I know it has been a long time since my last post and I apoligise for that.
Everything is going great.
It has been more than 4 months since I returned to the UK.
I am getting my medical needs met.
I am safe and sound in a place to live (all be it a rehab situation)
I am sober,happy and feeling very proud of what I have accomplished (which you all have had a very important part)
I have been writing some poems for a contest that is for a local alcohol treatment organisation.
I have to write a poem with the theme being what you would write about if you where watching a loved one who was struggling with substance abuse.
I need your help. I have written three and dont know which one to enter (only allowed to enter one )
So I am going to pit them here on this forum for your opinion.
Number 1
Together we can..
Hold my hand I'll walk with you
Together we will ease your pain
Let sobriety be your sunshine
As addiction is your rain
The path that lies before you
Will not be paved with gold
People will help and with your strength
A new life for you to mould
Pain will come and pain will go
A mountain you must climb
Tears of grief will sometimes fall
As progress will take time
My darling wife I promise you
I'll be here by your side
If you fall I'll pick you up
In me you can confide
Together we can beat this foe
Together we can fight
Together we can hand in hand
March on into the night.
Onto number 2
My childs addiction..
Is this what you really want?
Numbing your pain with pills and booze
A little girl with ballerina dreams
But addiction is what you choose
A beautiful girl with hope in your heart
Scarred from mans indecent ways
Abused and used shame took your fight
Lifes truths have torn you aoart
Sobriety awaits for you my dear
Reach out your hand and try
I will be with you through thick and thin
My daughter the apple of my eye.
And last of all number three
A parents hope..
To see your life-light diminish before our eyes
Rips our heart and soul to shreads
Watching you in the throws of addiction
Becomes your loved ones dreads.
Want to change want to live
Is what you have to do
With all our help with all our love
Together we will walk with you.
OK thats it thank you very much for your time.
If you have a favourite please let me know.
Love,
