Reflection: This was an inspirational/hope-themed poem that I wrote back in June of 2003 as a poem of hope, perspective, and inspiration to a wonderful friend of mine who had struggled with an addiction problem for years. So, he went to rehab for a couple of months to try to kick the habit and he was just getting released when I wrote this poem. It was a lengthy, heartbreaking struggle, but he eventually kicked the habit for good and has thrived in his life ever since. I am so happy about that.

Here’s the poem which comes from my book “Burning . . . Burning Blue:” https://brighterdayslifecoaching.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/The-Rest-of-Your-Life.pdf
