One Day At a Time

When night falls to end the day, 
I know some relief is on the way
For I had peace while I slept,
Although in my dreams I still wept

Loved ones close, have drifted away
and distance with ones who stayed
Strangers now help me cope
Sharing stories of recovery and hope

One day this will be in the past
One day I will make a promise that lasts
One day I will have a soul that is mine
But now I exist one day at a time
