DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
My character flaws I had wrote in step four.
I looked at the faults I have now and before.
Step five, all my traits, I did face and confess.
I realized it then - that my house was a mess.
The mess started small but had rapidly grown.
I knew that, no way, I could clean it alone.
This wonderful temple, in which I was born,
Was turned to a shambles, both tattered and torn.
My house had been built on a stable foundation,
Yet still was in need of complete restoration.
Knowing that God would respond to my prayer,
I asked him for help with my moral repair.
I prayed he remove all my anger and hate,
Clean up my jealous and envious trait,
Help me be rid of my arrogant pride;
To then hang around - be my maintenance guide.
I knew that the job I had asked him to do,
Would take a whole lifetime and still not be through.
I knew God would help with this life changing plea.
I also knew what God expected of me.
I knew I must listen each time that he spoke,
In order to fix all the things I had broke.
I knew I must follow his spiritual plan,
To help him in every way that I can.
So long as we work, side by side, as a team,
God will rebuild both my soul and esteem.
Into my life, he will bring a new meaning,
So long as, each day, we continue my cleaning.
