Keep Coming Back

New, scared, confused,
Asking for help and you said,
"Keep coming back."

I didn't know what to do,
Just wanted the pain to stop,
Keep coming back.

Wanting someone, anyone who understands,
Someone that would take the bad with the good,
Keep coming back.

A family extended, I was a part of,
Sharing, caring, loving each other,
Keep coming back.

Loving each other 'til we learn to love ourselves,
Taking one day at a time,
Keep coming back.

You shared and said "I did it, you can too!"
You gave me phone numbers, said "call them all!"
Keep coming back.

Build a network, I heard someone say,
Your network will support you good and bad,
Keep coming back.

Take one step at a time in order,
Don't pickup, don't use, call someone first,
Keep coming back.

Disease will trick us and try to break us,
Share where your at, ask for help that you need,
Keep coming back.

God, as I understand Him, will guide you through,
Share, care, do the next right thing for the right reason and,
Keep coming back.

The steps, there are 12, then Traditions that guide us, someone said,
These things you told me would help me make it through and,
Keep coming back.

They worked, you said I would make it through,
Years go by and we talk and share,
Keep coming back.

Then one day, you weren't there, but someone said,
"Keep coming back."

Am sad, anger and have lots of fear,'
But in truth, you will always be there,
Keep coming back.

In body or spirit,
Either way I say "Thank you" for telling me
"Keep coming back."

Love, respect and gratitude, all learned because someone said,
"Keep coming back."
