When I was new, I heard you speak:
Your words were comforting.
When I was angry, I heard you speak:
Your words were informative.
When I was depressed, I heard you speak:
Your words were uplifting.
You said you were once like me,
That you changed and that
I could change, too!
New in sobriety I did not know that,
until you said it.
Thank you.
Happy Anniversary
