12 Steps I Took


12 STEPS I TOOK

I took one step, began to moan,
I can't do this thing on my own.

I took two steps, began to pray,
restore me, God, today.

I took three steps, gave up my will,
maybe God will love me still.

I took the fourth, I looked inside,
There's nothing more that I would hide.

And with the fifth, I said out loud,
I've done some wrong, and I'm not proud.

I took six steps, and was prepared,
to loose my defects, I was scared.

Now I'm at seven take them away,
God, for this I pray.

And on the eighth, my list was long,
amends to make for all the wrong.

I took nine steps, put down my pride,
forgiveness asked,

I did not hide,Ten steps I take, each day I pray.
Making amends along the way.

And with the eleven I pray to know each day
His will, which way to go.

I took twelve steps, I'm like a bird
to others now, I spread the word.

I love how the 12th step ties it all together --

I took twelve steps, I'm like a bird to others now, I spread the word.

To me being like the bird is stepping into the Freedom, no longer a slave to self but flying FREE!

This is simple and very beautiful. :) Have a wonderful Monday.
