Finding Joy

I can not begin to express the feeling I am feeling
So joyous in that within this world of distance
There remains possibility of destroying walls and miles
There are hearts, souls, people loved that can become
Parts of our lives again, but we must allow them
They, in turn, must also allow and share the same hopes
It is for that reason that I am filled with so much joy
There are lives out there, I never thought I’d be a part of
Yet, I always dreamed I would be, for myself and for them
I welcome them always into my life and pray that I, too
Become an acceptable part of their lives and remain family

You know Michael my family and I parted ways for nearly twenty years because of my lifestyle and then once I got clean we reunited and I realized that I never left them they just held me in their hearts and awaited my return home - God Bless
