Recovery

 

Recovery has given me hope of a life filled with smiles

Where happiness triumphs over the tribulations and trials

 

Now I look and I can see that God has plans for me

And challenges can be faced; they can’t bring me to my knees

 

Recovery has given me faith that each day will

be better than the last

And hurdles are just obstacles I choose to dance past

 

Recovery has given me joy in a million different ways

Through a song or a scent or to watch a child play

 

Recovery has given me love in my heart

And to love and be loved, well that’s the best part
