Fourteen Steps

Fourteen steps will make you whole,
No less no more to find your soul;
The hands of fate will hold you fast,
‘Til you return to me at last.

Break the bonds that forever bind,
Struggle with your hand and mind;
Follow the road of true intent,
To end your days of discontent.

Find the means to gain your prize,
Bargain but never compromise;
Learn the ways of wisdom true,
Allowing you to start anew.

Discover your strength deep inside,
Pray for peace to be your guide;
Feel your spirit ebb and flow,
Always teaching you to grow.

Sing the songs of cherished desires,
Dance to rhythms they inspire;
Dream the wonders you create,
To see your world illuminate.

Now that you are finally near,
Two steps more will bring you here;
Love to bind your heart to me,
And Hope to last eternally.
