A FRIEND I have a friend who helps me when I’m in need.
My friend answers my calls when the demon wants to feed.
We haven’t known each other for years, only for a short while.
He gets me out of my head, informs me when I’m in denial.
Wise with experience, he’s been down this road before.
Serene Choices he helps me make with getting high no more.
My friend talks me down when my addiction starts to flare. N
ever dishearten, always bolsters with the utmost care.
My friend doesn’t want repayment, even though I couldn’t repay him enough.
He’s wise with my temperament, and when needed his words can be tough.
Even with the hectic and strenuous activities of his day,
He’s still engaged in my program, to have his strength I can only pray.
My friend is a great teacher of sobriety, and a slayer of the monster.
He’s my friend, my family, and people call him my sponsor.
