Thanks For Intervening

My lows were at their lowest
and my highs were non-existent.
My use of drugs and booze, were all
I did (at least consistent).

I hadn't hit rock bottom yet,
but I was going there fast.
My future, seemed, would magnify
my most regretful past.

I knew that help was needed,
but I didn't know how much.
I'd built a wall around me,
Put my feelings out of touch.

I slowly was succumbing
to a baffling, cruel disease.
Fearing for my family
and my life, I hit my knees.

God was quick in answering.
He worked through two good men
Who cared enough to get involved.
They knew how I had been.

Jeff, who'd been through this before,
had knowledge of my need.
Bill, whom I'd grown up with,
planned and carried out the deed.

They recognized my problem,
Where my life was headed to.
They gathered up my fam'ly.
I had not the slightest clue.

Exposed the ill I suffered from,
The problems that I faced.
I now am in recovery;
The old me's been replaced.

To Bill and Jeff: I thank you guys.
This deed I won't forget.
To fam'ly who supported me:
I'll leave you no regret.

I've fin'ly found the hope I'd lost.
My life has found new meaning.
I owe so much to everyone.
Thanks for intervening.
