Recovery

You come creeping
into my dreams,
just a little tease,
and wait 'til dawn
to bring me to my knees.

You wait for me
all day long
so very sure
I am not that strong.
Oh, but now I know
all too well,
that just one slip
will surely return me
to the depths of hell.

Time running out,
almost the twenty four,
from a small whisper
to a hellish roar.
I stand my ground
though temptation shouts,
I kneel to pray
as time runs out.

Thank you, God,
for granting me
another day
of sobriety.
