When I Fail
6 June 2004, 10 pm | Prayer
I have seen what I know,
I feel much more than I know I know.
I have shown what I have,
I have given much less than I have had.
I have stood up for those things I chrish,
I have retreated, or compromised in heart,
Much more than I have stood for.
So when I fail—to know, to give, or to protect—
Forgive me.
— Joe Byron
