Nothing to Give

Oh God, I have nothing to give you. 

I am quite a mess. 

I don't have a pure heart like a child, 
though I want to have one.

I don't have the kind of peace
that many people can easily have in their heart

My thoughts are often dark, sometimes dirty
full of worry, pride, and judgement for myself and others

Some of my bad habits are still there
no matter how long I have tried to improve

I don't really know how to be generous and kind
I often overlook the opportunities to do good for others

So what can I give you?

So...I guess...I will just live my day
And let You live it with me. 

I will just wake up to another day
Use my hand, body, brain
to live that day as best as this poor soul can

I will stop what I do... and say "I Love You"
As often as I can...before I continue 
This is probably all that I can give to you now.

So small, so very small
compared to all that you have given me all my life.

But I have nothing else to give.
So I hope you don't mind to take this lowly gift
