Partiers in Recovery

Partiers in recovery
On the road to discovery

Layers of the soul washed deep
Covering pain sometimes sweet
Experiences lived
Not looking to repeat

Making amends
Makes one deep
Loving life don't come cheap

Lacing up kicks ain't no trouble
Sexy boots make you strut double
Last thoughts covered with a shovel
Leather heels and soles get muddy
One day we will all be ash and dust

Duplicity
Complicity
Leaves no room for simplicity
Honesty a must
Egos bust
When even our own heart
We can't trust

The sacred names we claim
They gain!
When character defects change
Daddy
Husband
Brother & Son
Might be Greatgrand Fathers
Before we are done!

To the partiers we knew
Who found recovery too
We salute you
For the work you continue to do!
