"Today is the first anniversary
      of my sobriety!"

She was bubbling
      as she reported
      her non-alcoholic life.

It's an announcement
      you don't hear
      very often.

She went on to say:
      "I love my kids
            my husband
            my job
            myself
            my life!"

You can't beat it...
      the lady has reason
      to dance a little.

She revived trust
      in "amazing grace"
      that allows new beginnings.

I celebrate with her
      whatever it is
      that made her whole.

He gave me faith
      that my broken sailboat
      could be restored...

And we worked at it
      until it was.

I gave him faith
      that his broken life
      could be restored...

And we worked at it
      until it was.

I have had many happy days
      sailing a boat
      I nearly gave up on.

He had many happy days
      living a life
      he nearly gave up on.

I just traded that old boat
      for one much larger...
      with sorrow but not regret.

And just last Saturday
      he traded his old life
      for one much larger...

And we sorrow
      but do not regret.
