One More Time
Belinda was so sleepy but knew she had to keep moving.
Respecting her limitations, she took slow and measured steps.
Already late, she knew that this had to be her last try.
Valuable time had been lost over many years in detoxes and treatment centers.
Each time trying to find some piece of life jumbled and tossed that would fit together.
Responsibility had not been her strong suit, but she would try again to build a creative life.
Yet, sleepy or not, Belinda was bravely setting out one more time to become clean, sober and sane.

it is the courage to continue that counts.”
