Roy..I hope you don't mind if I stick this poem in here..

I was very impressed with the men at the meetings who had gone for years
without touching alcohol..

The stories that the shred were an inspiration, as are your poingnat
poems.. Bob..

These Men
by Bobby7

I just spent an hour inside a room that was filled with men like me.
If pain had color, then in that room, there's a rainbow you could see.
The stories of these tortured souls could fill a hundred shelves.
But the plot's the same, for just like me, they're all searching for
themselves.

Alcohol controls our minds, and tears apart our lives.
It takes from us, all we hold dear, friends, families, cherished wives.
It devours, with impunity, our souls; this cursed; Alcohol...
And no matter where you are in life, it, too, can make you fall.

So, here we are, at our last stand, we wish to banish alcohol.
We want our lives back, as they were, before booze made us fall.
It can be done! We've seen the proof, at each meeting we attend.
And we really can reclaim our lives, if we just listen to these men.

They paid their dues, and suffered pain, the pain we all feel now.
And, if we really wish to free ourselves, these men can show us how.
Perhaps we needn't walk the miles these alcoholics trod.
If, we but listen to their message,

and trust our lives to God.

And, who cares, Oceanbreeze?

Honesty, loyality, and a wicked sense of humour!!

My Saviour
by Bobby7

I was headed straight for Hell, trapped inside the Devil's spell.
You touched my soul, and made it well, and let me live again.
I was as empty as could be, no happiness in store for me.
You touched my heart, and set it free, and washed away my pain.

I hurt each and every hour, too blind to see you, lovely flower.
Then you revealed love's awesome power, and lit my life once more.
I was set adrift upon life's sea, as hurt and lonely as could be,
But you were there to rescue me, and set me on love's shore.

You always know what my heart needs, you nurture it, remove the weeds,
Then give it sun, and sow the seeds to make it grow, my love.
You give your all, your everything. You banish winter, beckon spring.
You make me hear the Angels sing, their sweet song from above.

You mean everything to me.You've cleared the fog and let me see.
You've shown me how sweet love can be.I'll love you for eternity...

Darling, it's just You and Me.

I will put this quote in here..

I wrote it, and, I believe it!

"Love can blunt the sharpest thorn.."
