I
came right off the streets—high, homeless & wasted.
Life
filled my cup with booze, anger & hatred.
Simply
unwilling to live in the right,
Crazy
was I to work there at night.
Helpless
& hopeless, no end could I see.
Only
GOD knew all the things I could be.
Then
near the end, with nothing to live for,
I
got my chance when GOD opened a door.
He
told me a lot, things I already knew.
You
see it was time to get me a clue.
Once
in the program, I learned about HOW.
It
was time for me to live in the now.
Three
times at least, I was made to surrender.
It
wasn’t long after, I went on a bender.
Meetings
inspired me, like a foreign land.
So
I got sober, coffee & cigarette in hand.
Baby
steps worked, & I prayed every day.
But
called on to share, didn’t know what to say.
Doing
things my way made such a fuss.
It’s
so much easier to let GOD drive the bus.
Now
here I am—happy, joyous & free,
Living
my life full of spirituality.
I
pray & remember to meet for an hour,
Work
my program, thank my Higher Power.
