Clean and Sober
It was a situation that I could no longer sweep under the rug
I had to get a handle on my addiction to drugs
I knew that I could not cope with rehab nor a twelve-step plan
I placed the answer to my problem in God's omnipotent hands
I believed that the Lord gave a tremendous strength to me
and with the Holy Spirit I could claim the victory
clean and sober is now how I live my life
with daily prayer and meditation on the word of Jesus the Christ
It was not an easy process at times it was difficult and hard
but I trusted that all I would require would come from the Lord God
I hope that this poem will enable someone else to realize
that with God on your side you can win the greatest prize
