A brain injury we have survived
With our family and caregivers at our side
Our lives have turned upside down
A new life style must be found
We need support and a mentor
Found at the Richmond Stroke Recovery Centre
We are of different ages
Our recovery is at different stages
Some have problems with their walk
Some with their talk
We all have issues with mobility
Different aids provide stability
Every Friday we get together
To socialize and support one another
We enjoy recreational and educational activities
And participate in various therapies
To maintain and improve our abilities
This program improves our quality of life
And allows us to keep our dignity
So we can continue to be part of the community
