12 Steps I Took

 I took one step, began to moan
 I can't do this on my own
 I took two steps, began to pray
 restore me God, 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
 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
Make amends along the way

And on 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........
