Sarah Kettle Poet Rhyme

Next Right Thing Next Right Motives

Woke early from bed, picked up the daily reader right away
To keep those insidious cravings at bay
After that I knew just what to do
I picked up the phone and called my sponsor too
We talked about the na program and some of things she said
Helped to clear those nagging cravings in my head
For some reason my mind goes to addiction
Making up stories that are purely fiction
It tells me to pick up a drug
That always yanks out the rug
Beneath my freshly clean feet
And if I use I will feel defeat
Sponsor said do the next right thing 
And examine my motives before relapsing
Into a world of darkness and gloom
I do not want to go there so I make room
To do what I know is best
Practice the program with a little Zest
By the time the conversation ended
A solid plan was mended
I became of use today
And because of that stayed away
From the evil I’m accustomed to
Replacing it with service to do
My daily activities of life
Feeling no more or little strife
