Poem Commentary

I wrote this in tribute to the A.A member who have helped me see the light.

Day By Day

You sit down in front of me
pain and hurt fill your face.
You try to hide it from people
it's all to clear to see.
The fear and doubt is all to clear
You fight back all the tears.

Their faces are planted in my mind
Their voices are soft and kind.
Their faces I long to see
keeps me standing on my feet.
For they are strong and brave
to take this on day by day
as we bow our heads to pray.

A calm warmth gathers in you
for this love pure and true.
Your faith grows everyday
for they hear your prayers.
As the sun shines brighter
as this circle becomes a little tighter.
Fo what we cannot do alone but we can do together.

I now stand at the turning point
I couldn't find and easier softer way;
but, through spiritual progress rather than
spiritual perfection.
I sit and speak to people around me
as I share what I used to be like through the helping hand of A.A
To take this on day by day
as we bow our heads to pray.

That was very inspirational. I hope you share this with other ppl that may be going through what you went through

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
