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
