Not a Sinner Or a Saint

My halo has small crack that no one else can see...
Its my little secret that stays below and never shall fly free...
 
I hold a door and tip my hat ,but an angel that's not me...
If I pull out a chair or give up my seat its what I want to be...

Saints and sinners I sit between like a branch in a tree...
I'll do best and not to shake the fruit or take a bite from Eve...
