A poem for Matthew

​Hello you
How are you today? 
Are you still the centre of the universe? I am jesting….,these words are simply banter, that’s all.. wishing you a blessed day and remember God has a path where you have the option to stay.

Are you still acting like a child?
I suppose it refutes being a man at this time,
There is accountability for us all, your stories of the past are okay; but we remember the details do re-enter those you have told mind. 

I hope you have had a productive day
And you are a ‘l’ not  a ‘we’so create wonderful new stories that await,
It’s about growing into yourself with spiritual strength, that is a a worthy fate.

You have skills and talents, but you put yourself down, 
You say you are angry, but you have received loved from many around!
I suppose you need to find the man you are suppose to be,
As one day in heaven… you shall be free. 

I have been a friend but my time may end tomorrow, 
This is the truth my friend, so don’t treat this as sorrow. 

I don’t care about my age or what history I have caused, 
But you need to find acceptance in your own solutions.. don’t speak ill of others, that side of you may need to pause?

You are great my friend,
So be proud of who you are,
I, like you my friend… 
May you reach the picturesque of peace, a goal in itself Matthew my brother and one to lean on God’s teaching to comprehend.

“Matthew, bless you, keep going and start believing in you.. you take responsibility and accountability of your actions.. which you have identified.. well done”

The spirit of fellowship

​I am a kind of guy who wants to be ‘all in’.
But sometimes I lose my focus, which often leads to sin. 

But A.A. Is a champion
You shall meet light minded people who won’t judge and are able to support,
This is a blessing from God, the words I would like to retort. 

I have been blessed in fellowship, and that is okay….for today,
Today is all we can be promised, a mere moment which I hope pertained.

But moments are temporary and the work needs to continue regardless what others say,
Complacency doesn’t have a position, especially in the light of this message which A.A. aims to say.

We are here to save others who want to stop this awful disease, 
By the spiritual foundations of hope, be kind to yourself.. please..

A blessing is never far away

​Time, places and situations
We are all learning this path we lead, 
Allow the God of your understanding to guide you in the places that you read.

Take your time,
Reflection is a beautiful place, 
Don’t stay there for too long, that may linger you delving into haste.

Be kind
Be gentle
Be loving and don’t centre all the issues about you, 
I can only help you a degree, 
it’s your higher power who humbles hearts in order to flee. 

The place you come from, you were made dearly after all,
We learn our way, ask questions to the right people on this path,
Remember a sound temperament through the higher power shall steer you at the point you are apart. 

Today you are here
Be grateful and be kind to the next person you see, 
Remember this world is damaged enough, let’s not continue that difficulty, it’s with God that you ought to be.

This is your time..

​Bring all things to your higher power; 
If you understand or not too sure,
There is a light waiting for you, allow the heart to ask for more.

We are all broken, believe that or not!
This is your life, and it’s worth aw much as the higher spirit has got.

So ask to be with your higher power, 
Speak or pray to them each and every day, 
The mind and heart combined will reach your soul,
It’s all about acceptance and letting yourself go. 

You can blame others, that doesn’t matter now,
You are a child of the almighty, this isn’t the moment to take a bow;
I know today is a blessing and some haven’t woken up today,
Say a prayer to those who have lost someone, but by his grace in the kingdom for eternal life,
This is the ultimate palace waiting, one full of everlasting light.

“Have a wonderful Sunday”

Prayer, meditation or chat

​Prayer, meditation or talking? 
You can do all of them whilst walking.

Yet its connection with your higher which needs to remain,
When all goes to fruition, who do you hone into? The God of your understanding that is able to contain.

People may like a chin wag…
Some like stillness which can be seen as stoic or socially removed,
When actually you are collecting your thoughts in moments you are looking to feel soothed. 

Chatting is great 
I personally like to write, 
Chatting can lead to judgement, as my own will release the angst that’s insight. 

Talking in group sessions is the place to be, 
Some share more than others, but that’s life.. the exceptions have no filter… as balance isn’t what they are able to see.

Don’t doubt yourself

​Don’t doubt yourself
People will try their luck,
Personally I rather diminish their words.. and put them in muck..

The thoughts can flow
God will guide you until the end,
There is only one spirit to follow my dear and humble friend. 

Don’t allow the brain to get bogged down,
Take the time for you, others have tried to fill your thoughts with what they see as humour,
Be strong and bold, others words are simply belligerent tumour.

Don’t say “yes” or “no”,
Just say “let me think about that.” And then pray to God,
The guidance received from their higher power shall arid the strain,
Please don’t doubt yourself… as long you allow the God in your heart to reign.

Without a drink

​without a drink I have a clear head
Without a drink I look forward to my day by reading books or watching a film instead.

Without a drink 
I can replace it by having a tea or coffee,
Without a drink I can treat myself to a sugar free toffee.!

Without a drink I can get closer to God
Without a drink I know I won’t feel sluggish or want to go for a nod.

Without a drink I can focus on a better diet,
Without a drink, I don’t need to cause chaos and delve into meaningless riot.

Without a drink I am happy, just for today!
Without a drink, my health is in the right direction, out of harms way.
