Temperance is what I ask for
Patience is what I need
Tolerance
Perseverance
Understanding
How can I help one who is not willing to help themselves
How can I understand if there is no explanation
How can I give my love
If it is not taken
How can I guide
If I have no followers
How can I see if there is no light
How can I listen
If there is no sound
I can not work miracles
Though I may try
I can not be perfect
Though you may want me to be
I am human
I make mistakes
I feel
I hurt
I love
I am an imperfect person
In an imperfect world
Please don’t ask me to be perfect
Because I will disappoint us both.
