At the same time my sponsor and other old-timers who had taken us under their wings loved us back to rejoin society. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, 5th edition, page 443Broken people, unable to love,
refusing to accept the idea
anyone might actually feel such warmth,
might receive them, might care.
But hope remains, embodied in those
walking the path ahead, but still in step
with newcomers, side by side,
sharing the love. And it's that force
embodied in those who've been loved,
who can love because of their receipt,
who have the power, the honor,
to love those hurting souls
back into the world of dreams come true.
