The Way It Is

Life had not been good to me, I shed so many tears.
Every waking moment was filled with cravings, anxiety and fears.


I knew I needed help, but did not know where to start.
Until I changed my preception of life, and asked God into my heart.


Now a few years latter, I've been sober for some time.
Life has gotten a bit easier, and God is not hard to find.


He is in every decision as I walk throughout my day.
He is in my tears of joy as I watch my children play.


As I look back on the years when I thought life wasn't good.
I now know that was because I didn't do the things I should.


So I'll move forward, keeping that in mind.
That God is a part of all of us, giving us peace of mind.
