AWKWARD PSALM

AWKWARD PSALM

A sign of true humility
Is when we understand
That human weakness may deserve
Respect – not reprimand.

The awkward ones who hesitate –
Forgetful souls who slip –
Quixotic fellows – clumsy gals –
Who seem to lose their grip –

The socially inadequate –
The ever ill at ease –
The overbearing amateurs
Who try too hard to please –

Have courage we could emulate
In facing their regrets –
They dare to carry on in grace
Sufficient for their debts.
