Together we can

Together we can
By John B Scott

Hold my hand I'll walk with you
Together we can ease your pain
Let sobriety be your sunshine
As addiction is your rain.

The path that lies before you
Will not be paved in gold
People will help and with your strength
A new life for you to mould.

Pain will come and pain will go
A mountain you must climb
Tears of grief will sometimes fall
As progress will take time.

My darling wife I promise you
I'll be here by your side
If you fall I'll pick you up
In me you can confide

Together we can beat this foe
Together we can fight
Together we can hand in hand
March on into the night.

my childs addiction

My child's addiction
By John B Scott

Is this what you really want ?
Numbing your pain with pills and booze
A little girl with ballerina dreams
But addiction is what you choose.

A beautiful girl with hope in her heart
Scarred from mans indecent ways
Abused and used shame took your fight
Life's truths have torn you apart.

Sobriety awaits for you my dear
Reach out your hand and try
I will be with you through thick and thin
My daughter the apple of my eye.
