For The Win

For The Win

Seven years ago I wasn’t in this seat.

Figuring then, I had nothing to beat. 

At that time, it was my father and brother I      committed;

For their alcohol abuse required more than they ever admitted.

Now I sit here (detoxing) with the same addiction. 

Wanting, like my late McKees, to throw a conniption.

But I think of my son and where we are from where we’ve been…..

This time, I myself, am in it for the win. 

Because, like Trevor, the next drink will be my last.

I’m only 32 and I’m not ready to #%^*!?^ pass. 

For these mountains I will climb and these hurdles I will jump, 

To ensure my son never has this burden of a hump.
