Fragility of Recovery

Fragility of recovery is like time in a bottle Like the time that bully punctured our special balloon We need no sense of gloom Like sands in an hourglass, we'd retrieve our past How long will we last. Fragility of recovery kindly ask; take heed Fragility of recovery is of concern to us indeed In case we should forget, as if we'll have no regret Fragility of recovery is as potent as our emotions We need no commotion. Fragility of recovery ask of us devotion And when I think of devotion, here's safe potion- We'll smell and taste all natural flavors of life They'll flow like streams of conscious joy delight Coming forth day and night When I think of devotion, life is like a sweet breeze Fragility of recovery can knock us to our knees So, to our Higher Power, we'll say, 'hold us please.' ...
