the most memorable moments
are the one-on-one times
I get to share with ladies
moments of remembering
the road leading up to
and carrying on in recovery
those moments in sharing
when gentle tears rise inside
remorseful of what I’ve done
of who I was
gentle tears of healing
for both her
and me
tears of being thankful
of who I am now
and what I now do
I’m a living, breathing testimony
of one who has recovered
from a hopeless state of mind
and I’m living proof
that a life lived in God
is one worth living
