Who Am I

Who am I ? So happy but shy Can I not hide my good deeds And confess the sins I have committed? For if I do so I will be hated. Who am I so great? That cannot follow, the truth's weight, Who am I so proud and jealous? Do I know the courteous principle? Have I served the poor and old? No moment for them, but rude enough in this material world. Why am I so selfish and miser? Have I fulfilled the needy's desire? Who am I so short tempered and greedy? Have I always spoken the truth and remained in purity? Whatever sins I have committed O Lord, Forgive them and help me to remain Spotless in this material world. Let me each day do something that will remove little sadness from the world's vast store. Lord, I am but a small boat, buffeted by waves Floating on the ocean of your mighty shore. WRITTEN FOR THE CONTEST: WHO AM I? SPONSORED BY PAULA SWANSON
