It’s great to have you,
I know you’re pleased
with the changes
these last few months.
I notice though
you’ve missed some meetings
and came in late for others.
It’s a simple program

and you’ve done well
but I’ve found like others
it’s a commitment made
a day at a time, for life.
You sit in these rooms
long enough and you learn
a basic truth.
Those people who stop coming back
are the ones who fail to hear
tales told by those who stopped
then found the folk who stop coming back
don’t hear what happens
to folk who don’t come back.
