Sitting at a red light with foot on the brakes

Full of regrets.. yesterdays mistakes

Guilt and remorse over those I have lost

Even in sobriety there has been a great cost.

We have expectations and dreams for tomorrow

But sometimes those wishes lead to nothing but sorrow

Depression can lead to a bottomless pit

Back to the bottle..gotta climb out of it

Hafta look up and let Him run the show

Without Him beside me..there's no place to go

I hafta realize that its not about me

Its reaching out to others and giving you see

So I close this poem with one thought in my head

Live and love in today and tomorrow don't dread

And even tho your dreams dont come true

Just remember that God has a plan for you.......... pld
