Sadness came over me
as I thought of the winter months ahead,
but just as I was reflecting on autumn's annual process,
God's message came through.
Like the trees, stripped of their leaves in the fall,
sprout new blossoms in the spring,
I had had my compulsive, selfish ways removed by God
in order for me to blossom into a sober,
joyful member of AA.
Thank you, God, for the changing seasons
and for my ever-changing life.
I stood in the sunlight at last.
