Dear Everyone
I lived in denial for many a year
Showing a brave front but living in fear
Denying that booze had a strong hold on me
I’d drown my sorrows to flood reality
I blamed everyone for my pitiful life
My parents my children and the ex-wife
Then I discovered a fact to be true
I was the problem and not all of you
I was selfish and rude and fake as a clown
With a painted-on smile to conceal a frown
My using and abusing to bury my pain
Was like jumping in a lake to escape the rain
My body felt empty like I had no soul
My spirit was crushed spinning out of control
Just as I thought my life couldn’t get worse
My Savior showed up and He lifted the curse
Today I am happy joyous and free
To all whom I’ve hurt my apology
Please forgive me for the wrongs I’ve done
And know that I love you my dear everyone
