I dreamt I met my Higher Power
and I listened while He talked
He reminded to me the difficult path
in life that I had often walked

We laughed and cried and
talked together as the
memories tumbled by
Slowly as heartache turned
to anger I asked the question
Why???

Why didn't you protect me
when my body was abused?
Why couldn't you have stopped me
when I picked up and used?

That was your path in life He said
The way it had to be..
It made you strong and brave
and wise and led you 
back to me

My precious child I love you
and I never left your side
I was your heartbeat and
your breath the times you
nearly died

I dreamt I met my Higher Power
and He listened while I spoke
I told Him of my gratitude
that my Spirit had awoke
