SOMEHOW

Somehow, saying thank you doesn’t seem quite enough,

I could never repay the gift you gave back to me,

Helping easing my pain of life’s misery.

I came in messed up, I was out on my feet.

Gave me a meal and a place to sleep

You didn’t care that I’ve come from the street.

You taught me things like, life’s coping skills.

And helped me get off dope, booze and pills.

You said things to me I will never forget.

Taught me how t live with my life’s regrets.

When I came here I was filled with much pain.

You allowed me to cry without feeling no shame.

The staff here at Sunrise is at the top of their game

They taught me how not to go insane.

Somehow, thanks is not enough.

You taught me how to be strong and tough.

When I came here I was lost and confused, not feelin nothin.

I felt lost and turned out.

You show me what being clean was really about.

You taught me about the steps and what to do.

When a situation in life arises,

Just don’t use.

I came with the desire, heartache and pain

Because I am really tired of playing my game.

You said simple things to me like one day at a time.

“Keep it simple stupid”, was a favorite of mine.

Somehow, you helped me ease my pain

With all of my mess

I just want to say, Sunrise House, be Blessed.

The dedicated staff of Sunrise House

From the bottom to the top

You started my recovery, I dare not stop.

In life’s unending game filled with strife and grief.

I believe that those who listen,

Get some relief.

Some choose to remember

I choose not to forget

Because the gift you gave to me, was precious and true

Somehow, GOD WILL BLESS YOU
