Who am I? <br />So happy but shy <br />Can I not hide my good deeds <br />And confess the sins I have committed? <br />For if I do so I will be hated. <br />Who am I so great? <br />That cannot follow, the truth's weight, <br />Who am I so proud and jealous? <br />Do I know the courteous principle? <br />Have I served the poor and old? <br />No moment for them, but rude enough <br />in this material world. <br />Why am I so selfish and miser? <br />Have I fulfilled the needy's desire? <br />Who am I so short tempered and greedy? <br />Have I always spoken the truth and <br />remained in purity? <br />Whatever sins I have committed O Lord, <br />Forgive them and help me to remain <br />Spotless in this material world. <br />Let me each day do something that will <br />remove little sadness from the world's vast store. <br />Lord, I am but a small boat, buffeted by waves <br />Floating on the ocean of your mighty shore.<br /><br />Green Peace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-am-i-164/
