Sit, listen, tell some jokes and have a ball

I remember when I used to drink
I would forget how to think
Making problems left and right
Not caring about things or my life

Then I found that my life mattered
When this guy told me I had manners
He  just wanted someone to listen 
So I sat at the bar and listened
He talked and talked about his life
Then we shared a laugh till night
He said thank you man ,
I was at the end of my ropes
But now I have some hope 
All because you listened
And joked 

He later told me he was going to end it all 
But now life doesn't seem so bad at all
Just because I sat and listened told some joke and had a ball

From that point on I  stopped drinking 
And even started thinking 
My problems are few and almost gone.

So please 
sit
 listen 
tell jokes and 
have a ball!!!!
