In the Depths
In the depths of darkness, a journey began,
A recovering soul, seeking a helping hand.
Through the haze of addiction, he stumbled and fell,
But his wife's unwavering love, his heart could tell.
With patience and understanding, she stood by his side,
Nursing him back to health, with love as her guide.
Through the tremors and cravings, she never lost hope,
Her support like a lifeline, helping him cope.
In the sleepless nights, when demons would taunt,
Her presence brought solace, a comforting font.
With each step forward, he found strength anew,
For her unwavering love, forever he'd be true.
Her gentle words, like a soothing balm,
Eased his troubled mind, bringing him calm.
Through the trials and struggles, they faced as a team,
He found redemption, in her love's gleam.
Grateful he stands, with a heart full of grace,
For his wife's devotion, in every embrace.
A beacon of light, in his darkest of days,
She showed him the path, in so many ways.
So let this poem be a tribute, a heartfelt ode,
To the wife who stood by, on this arduous road.
For her patience and understanding, he'll forever be indebted,
A recovering alcoholic, forever grateful, he said.
