A Shining Light
There are no lights on the tree…
The only gift you want is to be free
Drugs have consumed you…through and through
There is nothing much else left to do
You sit alone not willing to fight
But through this darkness you see a light
There is hope this holiday season
You have given yourself a reason…

This joyous season will be shining with light
You gave the gift to never give up the fight
Live this New Year with a drug free life!
