See the comparisions and not the differences (A.A. Poem)

​Do not compare, and look at the similarities, 
Be around light-minded people, and removing any fragilities. 

As I attempt to stay strong
Avoiding to have that paralysing drink,
Responsible for today and balancing the thoughts to avoid me to sink.

Thank you for today
As I leave that in God’s hands, 
This will remove the chance to have isolating thoughts, 
As all shall pass today, as I am no longer in that place that haunts. 

Things will occur for a reason;
As it’s said when bad news does arise, 
Pray and leave this with your higher power before you fall
There is a spirit within you, so stand up and seek the path God chooses you to call.

People’s traits.

​There are some people that turn something you say into a argument, 
You will say something and they turn your words around, 
You just shared an opinion but it’s an argument they choose to have found. 

And there are some people who like to start with laughter and say a joke, 
These are called ‘light minded people’ those are my kind of folk. 

Some people are worriers, they worry because that’s the way they are. 
The say the words ‘ahhh’ all the time, and that is okay, 
They need to relax a little, as sometimes I would like them to go away. 

You see the world is about connecting 
Understanding experiences, were some are unique and others not perfect
But ultimately we need to be surrounded in a safe space.. 
that’s wonderfully feeling, gentle as the words are not at all argumentative or cause haste.

I got a chance to pick yourself up..

​I had a chance
I did the work through the 12 steps, 
Moving away from addiction and that place which would have lead to death
I am so pleased I have fellowship otherwise I would have faced death. 

One thing at time, 
It’s a marathon and not a sprint, 
You get no reward for doing everything fast, 
You need to be patient with yourself first, that sort of balance shall last. 

Today is all we got, 
I have said that a few times before, 
Yet it still remains true from the journey we endure
We should sought laughter and plenty more. 

You love who you love
And care for who you choose to care, 
I love you, even if I never meet you again
Take these words of comfort, a safe space we all ought to depend.

From time to time

​From time to time you need to do something gregarious 
It can be anything from doing a bungee jump from going on a long cruise 
You eventually will need to chill out from all the effort and need to take a snooze. 

You need to ‘just do it’ and not debate with the mind
I wished knew what I know now, but that is the lesson of life
Hindsight is a wonderful thing… as long you don’t carry rife. 

Be kind to your body, heart and soul
Try to be positive in your outlook, as nothing is perfect, so please let it go…

I suggest say a prayer and leave it with God handle
The prayer will manifest and will be managed at all angles. 

So enjoy, stay and leave it with God
The higher power shall put you in a better place,
I know that today is all we have, as life is sometimes difficult to embrace.

How to write a poem….

​The feeling of writing poetry is a smoothness which never leaves, 
It’ can be about anything in life, mainly from what you start to believe. 

For me, it’s about God
The one we all answer to, 
No point in arguing about hate or blame culture, which appears to be a sport for today
I rather those discussion go away. 

I am blessed to write and speak from the heart, 
I look at the last word and see what it can rhyme with… so therefore, this sentence shall depart. 

Poetry can be about knowledge, kindness, love and what you are not sure 
I know there is a world out there so broken… which none of us choose to have more. 

So forgiveness and love
Or moving on from people you even do love,
I know someone is looking over us for protection, so reflect when one day you are looking at the skies up above.

From generation to generation…

​You see, us Brits like to moan
I am pleased.I love God first, there I won’t leave the Father alone. 

I rather not moan, I prefer to pray,
I rather encourage people and not speak ill, 
No job today is easy.. so we have to roll our sleeves up and accept what is real.

There is strange behaviour from generations which we can’t fathom, 
They call it ‘the progressive era’ where things are modified through A.I. And technology which cause more problems than it’s worth, 
It’s made us far more impatient, as our brains start to hurt. 

What an era we are facing,
Everything is fast and has no time to breathe,
I know upping the pace is a good thing but sometimes a chill pill is what you believe. 

So goodbye as this passage shall eventually end
Working through another day and learn from the aspects where it can transcend,
Where it’s hard to speak to someone without an argument to manifest
This life for anyone has become an almighty test.

Birthday to be blessed

​You have shared and and showed so much care
That is what you do Vicky, our friend, 
The rooms from the place that you have provided us with hope, 
words which inspire, despite the pain you shared and from which we have all learned
This is a blessing from God where you are able to discern.

You look at the tally of years, 
That’s not important right now, 
This is to celebrate your day with us, 
God bless you Vicky, I know and feel no judgment from you and a high level of trust. 

You come across wonderful 
You are a blessing from God, no matter what you have put yourself through, 
Let’s celebrate this day Vicky, an honour and respect to you.

Today is your day, the 1st of August from what we all acknowledge and see
I and others thank the lord for your life, 
You are a blessing for your husband, children and grandchildren today and forevermore
Thank you Vicky as God willing there are plenty more birthdays to celebrate that are in-store.

“Happy Birthday Vicky x  Love from A.A. Fellowship xxx ❤️”
