Hello for today

​Hello
How are you today?
“This is a stop gap,” I am saying to me
I will be looking towards a new life to feel free.

Hello
It will be okay,
No more tears, simply new beginnings 
Looking for a new start 
I will be okay, change can never truly depart.

Hello,
It will be okay,
Walking on your journey has been something new
The road for anyone is fascinating from the things that we do.

You will be okay 
You may not feel it now,
Confidence we can be lacking from time to time 
But today promises to reveal itself eventually, that’s what I find.

Is this goodbye?

​My home for 53 years
What are you referring to? God said “don’t worry there is nothing to fear.”

My home since 1977
I grew up there, now I say goodbye,
Is that for good? As I shan’t sigh or look to cry.

My home as long as I can remember,
Recalling Dad taking us to this new home,
Now we are in 2026 where times have changed
It’s through my higher power as I now turn onto the next page.

This has been my home for such a long time
But the door will shut as long God wants it that way,
As long I remain spiritual, I can now lay my head in this new place to stay,

Experience, strength and Hope (ESH - A.A. Poem)

​I care for you 
But you need to do the work, 
So here is my story, thought I was going to die, I continued to drink until it started to get worse. 

I had that epiphany
That moment that changed a lot, 
I didn’t want to be on this earth
I felt I had no value in my life… for what’s that was worth. 

I did eventually get the help, and received the community detox to get this stuff out
I started to abstain, as this new life I was still dubious for wanting to be about. 

The thing is we are here, we have another chance 
I wished and prayed for all people with this disease to come through this torrential ordeal,
And that life today is simply for the ‘here and now’
I end my queue there, as I shall take a humble bow.

Emotinally unavailable

​People need to know their limits 
And that others are not emotinally available all the time, 
Emotions do run thick and fast 
Praying to God I hope this person’s words won’t continue to last. 

I am hear to today 
Working out the next best move, 
I want to hold onto God today, I know he has the remedy to soothe. 

It’s about love 
It’s about looking after body, heart and soul, 
It’s about wanting to find what’s best for you
Unlike me, I need to take my own advice in this road where I imbue. 

I am here today
And perhaps tomorrow won’t be around, 
Only God knows how long I will be staying around for
I am happy I have the present moment… and won’t sought anything else more.

“Feeling emotional….”

I know its going to be alright

​I know it’s going to be alright
I am just a little nervous at this moment in time,
I want to pick up but I am grateful my sponsor was at hand
He said to me: “don’t you dare touch a drink as I will soon call”
I felt comfort during this potential fall. 

I am feeling sober right now
And it feels great, 
I will soon have a warm drink to calm my nerves
As the 12 step programme gives you a chance to serve.

I know I’ll be alright
I just need to stay still and remain in the present time, 
And focus on God and leave this at his son’s feet, 
Therefore I am here today; in the present moment as I want to cool down and not face the heat.

I know it will be alright 
I have no chance but to find a way, 
I need to speak to a light minded fellow as the anxiety is attacking through the thoughts which currently lay.

I know it will be okay
Thanks to my higher power, as I am scared what will happen next, 
I need to stay in the present, and avoid hearing words which can cause myself to vext.

Looking towards

​I am ‘all or nothing’,as I can’t hold back
I am trying to balance my thinking as I can’t afford to think to slack. 

i am too emotional
I can’t change the way I am, 
Or can I stay strong my friend
It’s between you and God and all the moments that I need to make amends.

I am all or nothing, 
A poet with lots on his mind, 
A poet that loves with his heart, body and soul
God is always there… so there I shall go. 

The aim is to ‘snap out of it’ 
Be the best version of yourself that you are able to be,
May your higher power humble your heart, as this new venture is more than you needing to flee.

Crying.. and closer to Faith

​Some people are kind
Some people are bright, 
Some people are aggressive, and often want a fight. 

We are who we are 
But the focus is always on your higher power, 
The guide, the force and the timing of God at the point you receive 
That moment of focus could come from anywhere… well that’s what I believe.

It will be okay
Don’t worry, people can make you feel good, bad and awkwardly so, 
if you don’t connect, that isn’t your fault, you are who you are
It’s finding a balance that works
The world is troubled enough, nothing stays the same so you won’t always hold onto the hurt. 

People have their ways, 
You don’t have to understand, asking doesn’t always do it for me
I accept people for who they are… the most important thing is that you find God and the spirit sets you free.
