I know of nothing good living in me
Living that is in my unspiritual self.
Honesty here is the key .
It’s up to you , you can’t get it off the shelf.

Every single time I want to do good.
It is something evil that comes comes to hand.
Perhaps I should ask myself if I should as well as could .
But good intentions dribble into the sand.

Maybe we should not worry too much.
We are not doing that bad.
Nothing comes easy to the touch.
So let’s not be too sad.

Keep trying.
And stop sighing.

………

Good intentions
Despite every effort
Soon just fade away

See Romans 7: 18-25
