I've Found a Message of Hope

Dear Fellow codependents,
I know you are at a loss
You seek your independence
But, your poor waif you can't toss

I've found a message of hope
That I would like to share
There is a way to cope
There is someone who cares

Our Father offers mercy
As He extends His grace
To those who are thirsty
There's knowledge to embrace

We can help one another
To choose more of what's right
Habits changed for another
Make burdens become light

As we respect agency
And allow consequence
Our poor waif is then set free
To search for new guidance

This process may take a while
For a full recovery
As sins make quite a pile
And they need uncovering

With loving understanding
We'll let our poor waif fall
While we step back still standing
As to them we will call

"Dear waif, we can't fix problems
Nor do we have advice
We do have ears that listen
In a program that's nice"

"There are others just like you
And together we can cry
You will learn of hope too
The offer's there to try"

The 12th step is to serve others
and be a light...
