With the day came a thought
And the thought became my aim
But to make it be so
Things would have to change
I would have to make amends
Perhaps forego my pride
A bit of a makeover
That would come from inside
In days of past, as I remember
I would never had thought to reconsider
Rather, I’d have stood my ground, to proud
And maybe a bit bitter
It’s not about more intelligence
But with age, being a little wiser
Understanding the need to be
A little kinder, and a little nicer
For me, my belief in my Lord
As I have grown, ripened, and aged
Has given me a sense of consideration
Nothing more need be explained
So please allow me to offer you
As my most gracious way to be
And ask that you forgive and accept
The humility in me
So in closing, I’d like to say
Thank you for taking your time
To read this little poem
A moment within, to help ease my mind
