I'm just one small person
Among more than 6 billion
You have me up on this high pedestal
But I certainly don't deserve your adoration

Inadequate...as a friend
Not always around in the time of need
At times my own need takes over my life
Please forgive me, of this I plead

Inadequate...as a daughter
I know I've not always made you proud
I feel the disappointment in your face
Ad you sit up there on your cloud

Inadequate...as a sister
In my own world and out of touch
I think of you daily but don't let you know
Even though I miss you so much

Inadequate...as a mom
Though unintentionally, I expected too much
Of this I am wrong
Through life I never wanted you to rush

Inadequate...as a wife
You don't get near enough hugs
I want our house to be a home
But I hate the sweeping of rugs

Inadequate...as a child of God
Not kneeling enough in prayer
Forgive me, dear Lord
For all these people I truly do care

I'm just one small person...one day I won't be
I'm working on it
And progress I'll make
This promise to you all I commit
