A New Beginning..

I awoke today~
Again my thoughts a mere astray~
Deep and dark had been the night~
My memories of it to fight~
A larger sip of Gin to drink~
Still these memories of last night~
There must just be another way~
With these thoughts in bed I lay~
Sweating, breathing, breathless~
Heart pounding, motionless~
Another sip~
Nothing changed ~
Another sip of that cool drink~
Barely conscious now~
Nothing changed~
Then suddenly with a soft blow~
A man stood before me in a glow~
Give me a chance with your thoughts my child~
I give you freedom, if in me you will abide~
Who are you I asked in drunken surprise~
Jesus answered me that night~
I am the Way, the Truth and Life~
Tried him out that day~
No more thoughts in disarray~
 When Jesus guides the way~
