Rest and be at peace

We all know the world is fraught with chaos, which we can and cannot control,
We rather not be engaged in intense situations, when our mental health goes faster and is unable to go slow.

We are all on the fast lane
It eventually needs to slow down; 
It doesn’t have to stop, you still need to feel alive
Looking for something to remain to strive.

We all know the drill
Life has a way to challenge the body, heart and mind,
Reflect on the kindness that you show, 
but then again don’t be part of the unwanted woe.

The world is quick
I prefer to take a step back,
Relax and take your time… and focus enough where you shan’t be able to slack.

Life is a lesson..

life is a lesson
That’s the ultimate test,
We learn from our past mistakes that we didn’t see
And others were unable to escape from, and later became free.

Life is the journey, it doesn’t stop now
Unless your higher power says so, that’s when you shall be asked to throw in the towel.

Some of us shall continue until the very end,
Hoping we won’t be alone, holding the hand of a sincere friend whom we can depend.

Life is a journey, so embrace because it’s all we have,
We are aware of this, do not say goodbye yet
We are here to speak to God, and he knows you are worth it.

We shall be okay?

Are you promised tomorrow? 
I think not!
But today I shall pray for you to be okay, 
So opt for silence, be relaxed and stand in the presence that we can all stay.

We all enter into life with great intentions,
And things don’t always go right, 
You look towards the future, which is never promised, 
All you need to become is humbly honest.

You are blessed 
This poem shouts that to you, 
Today, look at the goodness you are able to achieve
This is a moment to reflect on and rightfully receive. 

This is a prayer, a light to shine on you
I can’t claim to get it right, no one can,
But a prayer in your direction is honesty as I offer my humble hand.

What can you do?

What can you do? 
Be there for someone l,
Perhaps holding the other persons hand,
Not this point proving chaos, that has no place to land. 

What can you do?
I’ll stop, look and pray,
It’s the strongest weapon to turn things wrong into right,
It also delves into a spiritual realm which is worth seeking the light.

What do you do?
You pray, then discern and leave it there,
There is ‘free will’ to allow the spirit to enter into you, words I openly declare.

Take your time and see where life will lead,
Relax and leave this with God, humility shall blossom like a mustard seed which awaits,
Your higher power loves you, that’s the heart and mind I seek to trace.

We are here to learn and progress

Keep going 
Focus on you and others, 
There is always something to bring to the table, 
This world faces enough turmoil today, so look to focus what is humbly stable. 

Focus on God
That’s your point of call, 
Today is all we have, what happens if you ever fall?

So be bright and focus on your journey of faith, 
There is no time like the present or ever waste. 

You have today 
And thank you are in my life and yours too, 
Don’t take this life for granted.. this one… yours! The one God gave to you.

It begins today

Some of us take pressure really well
Some collapse; so here’s my story from which I am about to tell.

You see, mine was through grief, as I didn’t think I had a problem 
The drink felt good as I didn’t know what to do!
Drinking was my best friend as this path I was about to embark and ensue.

I struggled with the thoughts in my head
People assuming I could help with them, but I was crying in my head and heart instead.

Then the realisation took place 
I continued being drunk and waiting to die,
I didn’t think I had a solution, therefore waiting for God to call me, and waiting to say to eventually say ‘goodbye’.

We are here for each other
And that is a great trait,
As we greet each other, and refuse an awkward debate.

The pressure is real
As we lost our way,
It’s only until God says ‘it’s time to come home child’ from that moment we cannot stay.

Learning the hard way

It’s amazing how this substance throws you side ways, 
But in the rooms we have a spiritual awareness that graciously stays. 

We are open
We are not judging, 
We are in this new world of ‘constant recovery’ 
We are trying our best, as this is about ‘tough love; and the way ahead
And saying your prayers before you go to bed.

It’s humbleness poured in a jar, 
This world of sobriety can (and will) take you greatly far. 

These words which arrive from my inner spirit,
God’s spirit from all places, 
This is humbleness, grace and surrender
You are allowing to enter a spiritual arena and a great honourable defender.

“The world of A.A. Is open and humble”
