Five Years Clean
It’s not my belly button but it’s my birthday
Five years free and clean I’m proud to say
As I start off this day it’s with a great big grin
God blessed me with the tools I needed to win
The Lord gave the ability and the desire to write
Which enabled me to see life in a brand new light
God sent me these gifts by the way of his Son
For five years I have followed the chosen one
With a stack of poems and no idea what to do
Ask the Lord to guide me and he led me to you
And as you all know I’m in love with a dream
He gifted me with an angel to be on my team
Sometimes I smile at the thought that I’m a poet
And no matter how I try I can’t help but show it
Some are dark as a cave others bright as a light
I have no absolutely no control over what I write
The only thing I believe that I believe is true
I truly do love to share myself with all of you
Please allow me to first apologize for being absent
from the site this week a lot of good things have
been happening. The most important is the fact
that it's January 28th, 2009 which means that 5
years ago today I emptied my locker into a box
and walked out of Prison for the last time ever in
my life and started living my drug free life. This
week I have started adult courses to mainly brush
up on things and I have taken my aptitude test for
the Dept. of Rehabilitation and scored rather well
if i do say so myself so my opportunities as far as
retraining for a new occupation is looking rather bright.
I can't believe that I have 5 years free and clean
that is so cool. I want to thank you all for the support
you have given me and would like to say that in my
heart you all share this moment with me. When I
pick up my 5 Year N.A. coin tonight and guest speak
at the meeting you all will be there with me. I will
be back on the site by this weekend and I Praise God
that this milestone in my life has been reached.
Thank you all - God Bless, MJ
