The Pit
Although the seasons
Come and go,
I pray that my sobriety
Will constantly grow.
For years on end
I’ve tried to quit,
To pull myself out
Of that deep, dark pit.
It was years ago
When I fell into the trap,
It’s filled with alcohol,
Drugs and crap.
The walls are soaked
With suffering and pain,
The guilt and remorse
Eat away at my brain.
I pulled myself [...]

Have you ever
Heard the laughter
Of the folks
Who made it “Home”?
The ones who walked
Wondered and waited
Just to see a smile.
Recovery is a joyous gift
That brightens up the Soul.
The laughter returns as we share
Our Journey to the things that made us whole.
Thanks for the song of laughter
That gives laughter to my night.
Thanks for the smile
That makes it [...]

I am so proud of you living
A clean
Happy
Joyous
Free
Life.
You are a wonderful miracle.
You make my recovery more alive. [...]

“Upon Awakening
Soul will be free.”
That is the promise that was given to me.
I was a child sitting in church
What did I know?
I knew of the wondrous things.
I lived in the moment.
I heard angels sing
I was told to sit still,
I wanted to move,
I wanted to dance,
I wanted to laugh,
I was told to be quiet.
I was angry [...]

My being Irish
is a gift I received from the tribe.
My Irish drinking
barely kept me alive.
My Irish temper
scares even me.
Then the “pot” of gold
that was given to me
Had me down on bended knee.
The snakes from Ireland
are often found in my head.
I cannot surrender…
I often dread.
Now the Sunlight of the Spirit raises its Voice.
When I do listen, [...]
