An Alcoholic's Hymn Andaree

Dear Libations, please, leave me light and hazy,
   to some, drunken love, seems quite crazy;
         they don’t understand your taste
              and your hard embrace.
                    One more shot
                         chased
                   with the thought,
                 it’s you and I, Grace,
               it’s only us in this race!
            I will never curse us with AA
dear Libations, please, leave me light and hazy.

Good, Andaree - concerning theme - I don't know what to say. I hope it is only light-hearted, fun writing. It is a good writing ... either way, good luck to you ... CayCay
