For Your Recovery

Not always an effortless journey
finding serenity from within
having little compassion for yourself
nor from where you've been

yet steadfast on that path
you travel my dear friend
wishing much contentment
as you now transcend

I urge you to be proud
for all you have achieved
allow yourself to heal
release what you have grieved

hoping for insight as you emerge
how far you have come a realisation
and with the courage you've displayed
you regard such dedication

I pray continued willingness
for your spiritual embrace
with strength and authenticity
it shall preserve your grace

your kindness, strength and spirit
genuinely admired and observed
I desire for you
the life you have deserved

I want for you the happiness
you were always intended to enjoy
your worthiness of this
assuredly not a ploy

I ask of you be thankful
for all that you have done
a jewel among stones
my lovely, you've become
