The Pit
Although the seasons
Come and go,
I pray that my sobriety
Will constantly grow.
For years on end
I’ve tried to quit,
To pull myself out
Of that deep, dark pit.
It was years ago
When I fell into the trap,
It’s filled with alcohol,
Drugs and crap.
The walls are soaked
With suffering and pain,
The guilt and remorse
Eat away at my brain.
I pulled myself [...]

It is a Sunshine Sunny Sunday
The storm has passed for now.
The green of spring is ‘doing its thing’
As on my knees I bow.
Winter’s pains no longer near
The opening leaves do now appear.
The world is again a wondrous place.
The Sunlight of the Spirit
Conveys God’s Grace.
The Light and Sound
Are dancing in a sacred rhyme
The [...]

Living in the moment
Doing the ‘do things’.
Being all that I can be
(All that You created me to be.)
Giving and loving
Being open
Doing for the Master.
Letting go for me
Is being unattached to the results.
It is not my responsibility
How the gift is received.
It is my responsibility
To have and use the God given ability
To respond to Spirit’s sweet Voice
That [...]

The girl’s were getting together to “dish the dirt“
I thought they would be planting seeds or something.
They were.
They were gossiping…seeds of ‘dirt’about another Soul.
When day is done they put our ashes in dirt.
We cleanse our Soul to release the dirt.
We pray.
Do our step work and take the dirt
To our sponsor and release to our Higher [...]

The One I allow to see me
The One who hears me cry
The One who always loves me
The One who never asks why.
The One who walks beside me
When other friends have gone.
The One who can forgive me
For all the things I have done wrong.
The One who lives within me.
The One who fills the void.
The One [...]

Tennesse Ernie Ford once sang
“E’er you left your room
this morning, did you stop to pray?”
Now, as I arise and surrender
I am asking the Master to lead the way.
With out this guidance and direction
I will not experience the resurrection.
The spiritual awakening
Allows me to be happy, joyous, and free.
Join me in the Higher Power Hour
It takes only the [...]

On that first, Easter morning
Would you have called me to the garden?
Would I have heard my name?
Would I have been listening?
Would I have heard your Voice?
Would I have felt worthy?
Would I have had a choice.
Today, do I know when you are speaking?
Do I hear you call my name?
Do I listen?
Have I heard your Voice?
Do I [...]

Good Morning World
Is now how I greet the Day.
It is wonderful to be alive
I have so many blessings

I have shelter.
I have food.
I have a place to rest.
I have friends.
I have laughter.
My life it is the best.
My family has been loving
Even when I put them to the test.
My friends they are [...]

“Upon Awakening
Soul will be free.”
That is the promise that was given to me.
I was a child sitting in church
What did I know?
I knew of the wondrous things.
I lived in the moment.
I heard angels sing
I was told to sit still,
I wanted to move,
I wanted to dance,
I wanted to laugh,
I was told to be quiet.
I was angry [...]

I have the knowledge
Your love teaches me
I have the joy and laughter
I have eternity in this moment
I have a new beginning
I am that which You created me to be
I am happy joyous and free.
I am content with the Fire within.
I do not need to lose or win.
I am not bound
Here on the [...]
