To Take The Steps
On a day long ago
I took my first steps
They were the direction I should go
And filled me with hopefulness
I tried to stay at a steady pace
And always be moving forward
And be aware every day
That my drinking was a disorder
The path I chose to walk
Was suggested one day to me
And with my higher power I talked
And enjoyed some sobriety
There were only 12 steps
Though the journey was never done
As when I reached number 12
I started back at number 1
I still enjoy the journey
With sobriety in my life
And walk I continue to do
With my higher power at my side
