Posted by Ginny i'VE LAID MY SORROWS DOWN.... I TOOK THE REMNANTS OF WHAT WAS LEFT... I FOUND THOSE WHO JUST LIKE ME... I PUT MY HAND IN YOURS... AT THE BOTTOM OF THE 12 STEP LADDER.... WE TOOK OUR TIME IN PROCEEDING... ALL OF US TOGETHER SHARED EACH OTHERS LOAD... WE'RE MOST OF THE WAY TO THE TOP.... NOW OUR FEARS ARE TURNING INTO FAITH.... WE ARE LOOKING AT THE UNKNOWN.... Written by Ginny I dedicate this poem to all of those in the program now and to all of those who went before, leaving their footprints for us to follow to a life sublime.

MY TRIBUTE TO YOU
I HAVE FELT THE BYGONE PAIN....
WANTING TO QUIT AND NOT GO ON....
BUT I BEGAN AGAIN.
OF THIS EMPTYING OUT OF TEARS...
TO SOMEONE, SOME ONES....
I SHARED MY DOUBTS AND FEARS.
HAD BEEN DOWN THAT CROOKED ROAD...
WHO ALSO CAME TO THIS PLACE...
THEIR SORROWS TO UNLOAD.
YOU PUT YOUR HAND IN MINE...
WHILE LEANING ON EACH OTHER...
WE BEGAN TO CLIMB.
TAKING EACH STEP, ONE AT A TIME....
HESITANT AND FEARFUL....
WE DIDN'T LET THAT MATTER.
AS WE PAUSED AND THEN WENT ON...
IN OUR WEAKNESSES....
TOGETHER WE WERE STRONG.
SEARCHING FOR THAT NEW AWAKENING..
PROMISED TO ALL WHO TRAVEL RECOVERY ROAD...
IT HAS BEEN QUITE AN UNDERTAKING.
WE'RE BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT....
THE DARKNESS IS TURNING INTO DAWNING...
WE SEE THE GOAL IN SIGHT.
FOR WE HAVE COME TO BELIEVE....
THAT THERE IS POWER THAT GUIDES US...
FROM THE OLD AND FAMILIAR PATH WE LEAVE.
BUT WE ALL HAVE THE WILL TO TRY...
DAY BY DAY, ONE DAY AT A TIME...
HAND IN HAND UP THE LADDER, WE CLIMB.
WE
