Always

Suggestions. The “steps we took”
suggested as a program of recovery.
So they don’t bind me, don’t order,
leave me in control. But do they?
Always lies scattered through the text,
the most beautiful, “they will always
materialize if we work for them.”
And then that “bear witness
to those I would help of Thy Power,
Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.
May I do Thy will always!”
It seems a good suggestion
always to follow the suggested program.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. (Confucius)
