This poem is about the life of an alcoholic and her recovery.
I used to try to run my life The way I wanted to Without regard for fellowman 'Nothing I wouldn't do I must admit I'd use a friend Just to attain my means Their feelings didn't matter then Nor did their precious dreams One day the Lord had had enough And knocked me to my knees Then when he had me down on them I learned how to say, "please" Please! Help me Lord Forgive me please Please! I have been so blind Please! Let me try to make amends Please! I've been so unkind The Lord gave me a second chance A chance I don't deserve Now I just one day at a time My fellowman can serve
