Faith Workers
Strange to think
looking at these lines of ink
that once upon a time
all I wanted was a dime
to buy another drink
so I didn't have to think.
And then, from two men I never met
came a spiritual safety net
into a wasted life
full of pain and strife.
Suddenly, I was a part of A.A.
and there hasn't been a day
in 30 years come this July
that my heart doesn't cry,
Thank you Bob, Thank you Bill
for your lives that did fulfill
a faith that works for sobriety.
Many thanks from my family and me.
