Poems
Jun 2015
Oh Lord, Take my Potential
Oh Lord, Take my Potential
And do with it what you will
For I squander opportunity
And fear I always will
I seek to love and honor you
And some days find my way
Yet the next will find me wanting
As myself do I betray
I seek to know and understand
The purpose I am serving
The thing that I most fear
Is that you find me undeserving
So I study and I scramble
For the tiniest attainment
And take solace in the truth
I am providing entertainment
1999
I have read this poem in public but this is the first time it appears in print.
