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

The New Year will bring something great
For it is your willingness to survive that is your best trait
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!
