I came to Beaver Hall, the second time around
What was I looking for?: To stand on my own ground
I came to relearn what I learned six years ago
And I came to learn what i missed in the overflow
I came for the schedule, I came for the rules
I opted the Mary Janes and I opted the booze;
When I arrived I was HALTed and stressed
By choosing Beaver's program, I'll be doubly blessed.
The tournaments I played, the AA meetings I went
They're not in the program for me to resent;
The walks I did walk, and exercises in the gymn
The are there to keep me helathy and slim.
Schedules and activites are a necissity
To keep me on track on the road to my sobriety
The Beaver walls are filled with laughter and fun
And through the windows shone the sun
I've done my chores and are fine meals
Yet unconditional love is what I feel
Yhe friends that I have met over here
Are more inspiratinal than a glass of beer
I arrived here all angry and frustrated at myself
Yet I found the program full of informational tool wealth
With its message on assertive communication and inner peace
To do all this in twenty-eight days would be a feat
Illness and obstacles were thrown my way
But I had to relearn to live day-by-day
It's a selfish program, so we are told
Even the staff is narcisstic, don't you know!?
The steps are big, yet the steps are small
And if I slip I will surely fall
In everything taught will come my maturity
By lessons in tolerance and diversity
I know I will leave here with my sobriety
An action plan, a network and security
Because I will remember what is across the street
A black hawk that soars above the cemetary
Because again I have the tools, info and levers
To remain that Camel and defiantely a stronger Beaver!
