My AHA Moment

You never forget the pivotal moments that change your life

The ones that give you hope in times of strife

I walked into outpatient treatment with very little hope

Then, I met a radiant woman who told me not to mope

She said, “There is this helpful program. A place that helped me grow.”

“Feel free to ask me questions for I want you to know…”

“Know the experience, strength and hope of others who can guide you towards the light”

I replied, “You think this place could work for me?” 

She said, “It just might”.

Suddenly, a light switch flipped and I was not so alone.

For this bright light of a woman has shown me those lonely days are gone.

Maybe I’ll go to this magical place of acceptance, growth and love

For it feels like a divine sign from up above.

Thank you kind, beautiful spirit for giving me something to dream about,

Maybe this is the end of my spiritual drought.
