Bill Bowles: I Think I Know Myself

By Bill Bowles

I think I know myself fairly well,

Though probably not so well or fairly.

At least sometimes surely and hopefully.

I believe often I am who I want to be

A caring, compassionate, good willing

Disciple of Jesus, the Son of God, Savior

Of the World, friend of all the human race!

And as our Lord Jesus teaches us;

we are to love the Lord our God with

All of mind, heart, soul and strength.

I live by commitment, daily prayers

and promises, and actions with the

Holy Spirit’s guidance, nudges, promptings

Recognizing I must be open, attentive,

And always willing to learn good graces

From every human being whether they

Know they are blessings to others or not.
