I AM A WORK IN PROGRESS
I am a work in progress!
I didn’t always, understand what I now know is true,
Mysteries that are understood by only a blessed few
I am not boasting about anything special in me
Only what God has done, in changing me
As a schoolboy my lessons were never learned
And yet truth and knowledge, I always yearned
There were those who said “He’s not very bright’’
But perhaps the time………. was not quite right
As a boy had I learned to embrace the wisdom of man
It may have hindered, what for me, God had planned.
I know I’m far from perfection (it’s a cliché or so they say)
 I’m a work in progress, but I will get there someday!
