As good as I think I am.

As spiritual as i wish I were

As caring and compassionate as my wife.

As kind as I hoped to be.

As joyfull as He made me to be.

As quiet as I should be,

As realistic as my dreams seem to be,

As productive in my writing as I could be.

As hopeful as my son.

As carefree as my daughter.

As loving as my grandchildren.
