Work

I do not pretend I cannot err.
As I am human, as I breathe, I fail.
But I will claim that though I fail, I care
And do not let my failure set and stale.
I am, as we are all, at times the fool,
The idiot who knows not what he does.
But when I am, I try to, as a rule,
Notice and change. I am not who I was
Although my face may be as it has been
The mind behind it is, or tries to be,
A better person, not by lies or spin,
But by improvement and humility,
Saying I know that in me there is bad
But there is also better to be had.
