CoDA Weekly Reading 4/2/24
Precious & Free
What do you mean,
Does that really apply to ME?!
When I joined CoDA
It was years in the making
Of giving, of losing,
Heart and soul up for the taking
Identity lost,
If I ever had one of my own
Walking into a meeting
The first step, felt an impossible one
My life WAS unmanageable
I scrawled in the linings
What would manageable even look like??
Now, 3 months in, I've started to see the light
Higher Power?!
Mine had abandoned me, so I thought
But in moments of quiet
I found the peace I'd long sought
Each day is a new journey
But I struggle far less
When I breathe and turn it over
Admit that I'm blessed
My new relationships are in fact
Worthy of trust, and of me
In this moment I acknowledge
Yes, I AM precious and free
