AN AA LIGHT
How powerless a pawn in life's full game
From life to death and back - full circle came
But for the grace of God I'd have perished soon
He wrapped twelve steps round - a safe cocoon
Lost and lonely - drunk, confused and weary
Abject, dejected state of mind - so teary
Being just like this did I find my way
Through the AA doors - I came to stay
And there the light poured in upon this soul
God healed the heart and made it whole
He asked but one small gift in turn
To share with others God's care, concern

"He asked but one small gift"
He does not ask for so much, but gives everything in return.
If this is the state of mind that motivates people to change, I'm thinking that when we pray for our loved ones and they become more lost, more lonely, more confused and more weary, it just may be God answering prayers. But that one small word, 'lost', is so painful to watch and to live through. I hope you have a blessed day.
Beautiful PG. You could publish a small book with your poems. They are always so beautiful.
beautiful!
May God continue to be with you and to bless you.
I have no idea how you do this each day, my best guess is that you listen to God and hear the message to send it to us, who read you and adore you...well I for one thank you!

Nice, am going to share this with my sister.
I like the analogy of the 12 steps being a cocoon. Nice Anna.
Hey Prayer Girl. I appreciate your beautiful comment on my blog and it helps to know others moved from pain to healing on the their journey. It reminds me I'm not alone and others are making it too. I think you're awesome. Keep sharing. Sarah
Powerless pawns...God heals and makes our hearts whole again. Simply brilliant. Thank you for sharing this part of you. Love, TK
How beautiful and what coincidence that all day yesterday my powerlessness over my alcoholic and my first steps into Al Anon were on my mind and I blogged about. Exactly like you did. Except you English is better ;-))))
Hugs across the ocean
