Writing from your heart the vision splendid,
Endowing SAs hence to know God’s power,
Let love for fellow members be unended,
Let the healing Twelve flourish and flower.

Make no mistake the struggle wasn’t light,
In message winsome, the messenger was fought,
Stayed fixed in purpose with no end in sight,
Seeking recovery where no others sought.

You’ve blessed us all with peace instead of “pleasure,”
Once loving vanity, then others for God’s sake,
Unearthing Twelve and Twelve like buried treasure,

Revealing concrete steps that we could take.
O soul, once tossed on lust-strewn sea,
You’ve harbored safe in His serenity.
