Forgive Me Lord

Forgive me Lord
The misuse
Of the gift of gab
And for the painful heart
That became cold by it

For lack of faith
And exaggerated vanity
When all this, more is not
Than lack of humility

Thank you Lord,
For another day
Being able to be on this earth
Although so full of evil

Enjoying the power of good health 
And from my face´s sweat
Eat a decent piece
Of bread, tasteful

Have power to grub
The soil that one day
May host me
When the breath miss me
