The Artist

I lack the patience, my Lord, to draw
Every petal and stem
Every pebble, hair, and claw
As carefully as a gem

I lack the readiness, my Lord, to paint
Every daisy the same
I lack the diligence and love of a saint
To loudly, repeatedly proclaim

I lack the discipline, my Lord, by far
To sit with you a while
And yet your patience, my Lord, still draws
On me a simple smile


God bless,
