Meeting Time
I have an open room
Welcoming to drifters too
Where with coffee we discuss
All the things that bother us
We take turns going ‘round
With advice and solutions sound
Where we listen to each other
And want the best for one another
Anonymity is our game
With everyone known by his first name
As we wander in and out
Recovering in the little house
Every Sunday we celebrate
Our birthdays with some pineapple cake
And get a coin for our time
And tell our story and recline
Old timers take their seats
And their favorite stories repeat
And everyone gets along
Knowing where they belong
