Ego's

At times in life when I've struggled along, I've surveyed hinder at measures taken. And because in my being I claimed no song, Fright oft prevailed leaving me shaken. Life approached me like a breath of wind, With distressed days that slowly scattered. Like a tender sapling I soon learned to bend, While ignoring God and things that mattered. God placed within me a desire to succeed, And within my heart a lesser ego delves. He grants us no space for malice or greed, We've no room for God while full of ourselves.
