AA Is a Spirit

It's evidence can be seen, but can not be touched, nor can it ever be completely understood.
It is as wide as the world, yet small enough to fit snugly into the minds and hearts of man.
It has brought light to where darkness dwelt.
It has given hope to the hopeless and help to those who yearned in despair.
It has nourished forgiveness in those who knew no pity.
It has given strength to the weak and humility to the strong.
It has given greatness to the common.
It has spurred to higher goals those who strove for nothing.
It has transformed sorrow into a weapon of happiness.
It has given purpose to the trackless and shelter to the lost.
It has taught patience to the hurried and action to the slothful.
To the youth it has given vision.
To the aged it has given promise.
To the lonely it has given companionship.
To the restless it has given rest.
To the sick it has been a doctor.
To the dying it has given a desire to live.
To those who have fallen, it has been a helping hand.
It has no judgement against the unteachable, yet it has praise for those who learn.
To the outcast it has been a home.
To the childless it has given children.
To the unwise it has given tolerance.
Better still to the alcoholic it has given that most precious gift of sobriety.
It has given them a gift of love.
It has given a gift to search for truth.
With enough left over to share with each other.
