RECOVERY


I see a ray of hope today
My life's no longer shades of gray
For in life's game that people play
I feel that I might win today.

Off in the distance I can see
The person that I used to be
She's coming closer, cautiously
Her final step is up to me.

Am I prepared to take her in?
Let happy times and laughter win?
To face my problems with a grin?
To hold up proudly eyes and chin?

Today I think she'll have to wait.
The pain is still too deep...too great.
I hope tomorrow's not too late
But only God knows what's my fate.
