Clean & Sober Poem by Randy McClave

Everyday is a great day to be alive
To be clean and sober and to thrive,
To wake up every morning with a smile on your face
And not wearing a hangover or drunkenness in disgrace.

It's always best to have a clear mind while thinking
That's why alcohol I am never drinking,
I am never mad or stay angry or never do I abuse
Because, I never get drunk from any type of booze.

I love waking up not worrying if I made a mistake
With not broken memories or promises to forsake,
Not worrying or pondering what I did the night before
And not hiding bottles in a drawer.

This I will say to you you sweet, sweet Taylor
Don't drink like a sailor,
True indeed I only know your name, but not your story
But, please remember this, alcohol will destroy.

I love looking out at the beautiful skies
And never looking at them with bloodshot eyes,
Whether you are either a him or either a her
Remember this, everyday day is a great day to be alive and sober.
