A very compelling poem that shows the point of view of the alcohol abuser, and how much he appreciates the dedication and love of his wife in spite of what he might be putting her through. Wonderful poem of hope for an addict who still struggles with the addiction. Great job, and I see why you are proud of the lyrics. I would love to hear it put to music, Brett.

That's quite a tribute to a relationship. I normally do not review any Christian work but, since you worked so hard on this, I hopped on. You misspelled angels on the last line...John

Actually these are Country lyrics. I do appreciate your comments and support very much.

Hi, Matt...
Great country lyrics -- the booze -- downfall of many a person who can't quite pull themselves out of the pit.
You should record the musical version and post it -- that would be super.
Good luck in the contest.
Cheers & Blessings

Comment from Pyrrho
I find it strange that a poem about a drunk who is screwing up a woman's life is so dear to you.
In my opinion, it is almost as bad as beating her. In fact it is a constant mental beating and my ardent advice to any woman in that situation is ... Dump the posterior orifice.
But as poetic talent goes, the effort shows some.

The meaning of this poem that you missed is that yes he does have a problem with alcohol but he is also beginning to realize how important his wife is to him and how proud he is of her standing by his side through his tribulations. Appreciate your comments very much.
Comment from GeorgieBoy
Although I admire the writing, the content disturbs me. Perhaps because I was a facilitator of the substance abuse program at a major federal institution. My feeling is that if a woman stays in a situation like that, she is a martyr.
I do like the rythmn and the repetitive line about 'they say there are no angels'. It strands the poem together.

Your response is acknowledged.
Comment from Finglas
Well done. This has the ears marks of a great country song. There's drinking and heartbreak, regret, recognition. We all need angels in our lives, honky tonk or not.

Thanks for your comments, and yes, these were originally written as Country Music lyrics but I decided they would also make a very special poem.

Good decision. Txs for sharing. I have a song on here "Dancing in the kitchen" that I had set to music. No takers yet.

Well perhaps one day you will. Thanks again.
