JEWEL LYRICS
"Hands"
If I could tell the world just one thing It would be that we're all OK And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful And useless in times like these I won't be made useless I won't be idle with despair I will gather myself around my faith For light does the darkness most fear My hands are small, I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own And I am never broken Poverty stole your golden shoes It didn't steal your laughter And heartache came to visit me But I knew it wasn't ever after We'll fight, not out of spite For someone must stand up for what's right 'Cause where there's a man who has no voice There ours shall go singing My hands are small I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own I am never broken In the end only kindness matters In the end only kindness matters I will get down on my knees, and I will pray I will get down on my knees, and I will pray I will get down on my knees, and I will pray My hands are small I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own And I am never broken My hands are small I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own And I am never broken We are never broken We are God's eyes God's hands God's mind We are God's eyes God's hands God's heart We are God's eyes God's hands God's eyes We are God's hands We are God's hands

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!! And of course, Jewel's voice is so pretty. I did not learn Al-Anon's Declaration until I attended my first conference but I love it too. Kind of like, keep it simple.
So glad you are still here ((((((((my friend))))))))) and that you come into the room to share your ESH and post here on the boards.
Keep coming ~ love Maria

I learned the Al-Anon declaration early on in service work. While I need to keep my focus of recovery on myself, recovery doesn't happen unless I give it away. Sharing my experienc, strength and hope with people shows them hope in the worst times and the best of times.
I have eternal gratitude for this program.
Much Love,
SenoraBob
