Good, Bad and Special About Me

I have lit a lamp in many dark homes,
storms I have braved for babies in wombs,
Have lived a life where I have put others first,
I exist to serve others that is my Good, in gist!

I have been sharp and unkind in my words,
I have hurt loved ones who walked my roads,
I did not give others enough room for error,
the bad in me was, they saw me as a terror!

I had the courage to see within my soul,
To dissect my attitudes, redirect my goal,
I am more loving, caring, tolerant than before,
I am now fully revised, edited, special therefore!
