Lent Prayer 14

increase in me Lord

the gift

of humility.

not the false hearted

aw shucks m’aam

t’weren’t nothin’

t’tweren’t nothin’

nor the soul harming

denial of value

to dare

but the truth telling

knowledge

of both gifts and limit

that I may offer

the one

for the good and the

doing

and honor the other

for salvation from

despair.
