an Adult Child of Alcoholics

for ACOAs everywhere

all we children
grown yet never grown
once lost are newly found
sharing ancient pains
facing current fears
and finding… finally… Family
we can trust…
in these rooms.
Oh!… How I felt it too!!
When I heard them say,
“Here… I am safe…
I can heal…
in these rooms.”
