Look At Me Poem by Cheryl Jacob

Look at me,
I’m so fair.
Look at me Lord,
I even wear a robe of despair.

Look at me,
I’m so humble.
Look at me Lord,
I dare not let anyone stumble.

Look at me,
I’m so honest.
Look at me Lord,
I even let others be at their ablest.

Look at me,
I’m so wise.
Look at me Lord,
I give others advise.

Look at me,
I’ve been so full of avarice.
Look at me Lord,
I’d forgotten the sacrifice.

Oh Lord in my pride
I sought to hide.
Leave not me to my own device,
And I pray, save me from my own vice.
