Rite Two

from Perseids by David Burchfield

/

lyrics

For all I’ve done
And left undone
For all my sins
Toward my fellow
man

If there be good
In any part of me
Ground enough
For me to stand

I have not loved
With a whole heart
And I’m selfish
All the time

If there’s a way
To atone for these
Let me choose
That way for mine

Please don’t mistake
My faltering steps
For a lack
In earnestness

I love you all
I’ll do my best
But I’m sure
I’ll slip again
