Who am I?
So happy but shy
Can I not hide my good deeds
And confess the sins I have committed?
For if I do so I will be hated.
Who am I so great?
That cannot follow, the truth's weight,
Who am I so proud and jealous?
Do I know the courteous principle?
Have I served the poor and old?
No moment for them, but rude enough
in this material world.
Why am I so selfish and miser?
Have I fulfilled the needy's desire?
Who am I so short tempered and greedy?
Have I always spoken the truth and
remained in purity?
Whatever sins I have committed O Lord,
Forgive them and help me to remain
Spotless in this material world.
Let me each day do something that will
remove little sadness from the world's vast store.
Lord, I am but a small boat, buffeted by waves
Floating on the ocean of your mighty shore.
