Twelve Steps I Took

[admin]

I took one Step... began to moan
I can't do this on my own.
I took two Steps... began to pray,
God, please restore me today.

I took three Steps... gave up my will;
Maybe God loves me still.
I took a Fourth... I looked inside,
Nothing more would I hide.

And on the Fifth... I said aloud,
"I've done some wrong, and I'm not proud."
I took six Steps... and got prepared
To lose the defects... I was scared.

Now I'm at Seven... take them away
Today, Dear God, for this I pray.
And on Eight... the list was long,
Amends to make for all the wrong.

I took nine Steps.. put down my pride;
Forgiveness asked, I will not hide.
Ten Steps I take... each day I pray...
I make amends along the way.

And on Eleven... I prayed to know
His Will each day, which way to go.
I took twelve Steps... I'm like a bird
To others now, I spread the word!
