To Be What My Lord Would Have Me Be

I don’t want to be a king I don’t want to be a knight I don’t want to be an emperor I don’t want to be a prime minister I don’t want to be a Supreme Court judge I don’t want to be anything I just want to be me To be only what my Lord would have me be. I don’t want to win titles I don’t want to amass fortunes I don’t want to build castles I don’t want to achieve popularity I don’t want to travel places I don’t want to do anything I just want to do His perfect will To do only what my Lord would have me do. I don’t want to be a lord bishop I don’t want to be a major prophet I don’t want to be a holy father I don’t want to be a senior apostle I don’t want to be a mother superior I don’t want to be anything I just want to be a child of the King To be only what my Lord would have me be.

Well organized poem. A poem about a heart and inner self disregarded. To me this poem was sad.
