Food For Thought
(Epoch Four: 1989-1999)
For so many years
You tried to hide.
It was your plan to be
Unassuming from afar.
Then you were caught
With your unruly hand
In the cookie jar.
Your inept plea,
It was done to ease
A deep rooted hunger.
To cover-up
An emotional scar
Of a life gone amiss.
It seemed you unearthed
Your bottom line.
You were going under.
On your knee you crawled,
While people, places, and things
Turned you away.
Which an empty soul
Unknowingly wills.
Then you received a glorious gift.
Food for thought
That gave you the force
To pull yourself up
From the hip.
And enter the doors
Of the OA fellowship.
And follow a course
Of Good Orderly Direction.
A place to recover from life's ills.
And for the first time
To experience a life
Abundant with spiritual bliss.
