Honesty

Thu, 04/09/2020 - 22:17 -- jconl5

What would I change about me?

I do not know exactly what I want to be

I know I want to be respectful and kind

I know I want to enrich my mind

But I do these, as you will see

 

What do I really need to improve in

I guess, as we all must do, is to avoid sin

But which one should I focus on

I should work until they are all gone

Repenting from sin would be a win-win

 

What do I really have trouble doing

What do I have trouble pursuing

I have always been hard working

But there is sin in me that is lurking

I hope it does not prove to be my undoing

 

Then it hit me

I realized it was my integrity

It has always been lacking

It is a a part of my life I have been slacking

Honesty is truly the best policy

 

How would I fix it?

The first step is to admit

I will try to be more honest

And stop being dishonest

I would have to work on it a bit

 

I hope to fix that soon

It could be my doom

It is my greatest flaw

Failing here would be the final straw

After fixing it, my life could be in tune

 

All I can do is work everyday to fix it

Just like someone trying to get fit

This is what I must do

Work everyday until I am new

I hope this is something God would permit

 

I hope to become better
