What Did I Do Today?
So you've been around for many years, helping to spread A.A.
You've worked like he!! since you first came in but what did you do today?
I heard your pitch it was kind of long, you really told them how you
worked the steps in "71, but how are you working them now?
Do you still get up from your soft warm bed when someone is in trouble?
Do you grab your hat and your A.A. book and get there on the double?
Or have you forgotten the early times when you were sort of new.
Maybe you've been around to long that A.A. 's old hat to you.
Maybe you're one of the senior saints, sober and satisfied,
and you've forgotten when you were sick and when you darn near died.
Maybe I shouldn't bring it up, maybe your too blase,
but just for the he!! of it mister, what did you do today?
Have you been around so thingy-eyed long that you have to leave it
up to Harry or Sam, cause your not your brothers keeper and you don't give a dam*?
Maybe tonight the Sports are on, or you could be in a lot of pain.
So what the he!! if the guy or gal is sick, they have only themselves to blame.
Well mister, you have a perfect right to work your own A.A. and you
know you'll do it only your own way no matter what I say.
But tonight before you go to bed, just look in the glass and pray,
that you and the Lord know the answer to, what did I do today?
