Recognition


You don’t recognize me
he said
I know your blue eyes
she said

Clean and sober five years
he said
I know your broad smile!
she said

This is my wife and son
he said
Your family’s happy again
she said

I told you I’d come back
he said
You promised that you would 
she said

Thank you for kindness and respect
he said
You put your life in my hands
She said

Recovery from addiction adds day upon day
he said
You took your life in your own hands
she said

“You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.”
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince
