A Score And A
Little More
Lincoln once spoke
of scores and years
today I speak of one
score and four years ago
on this formally
broken psyche
a new constitution
was born
conceived in freedom
and liberty
with the proposition
that life without alcohol can endure
the self inflicted
civil war is over
the battlefield of
the mind has been laid to rest
the soul… alive
and free
free from despair
and self-harm
free to achieve
dreams
free to realize that
all things are possible
today I can not
dedicate…
nor consecrate this
event in time
instead I give
thanks to those who came before me
I give thanks to a
fellowship that accepted me
and I give thanks to
a Higher Power that never left me
