So must I - Ken Walsh

It’s funny, Lord, isn’t it?

I mean

We feel guilty about things we needn’t

And we don’t feel guilty

About things we should,

And few of us would agree

On which was which anyway.

You must get tired of hearing me say,

I’m sorry.

I suppose you’d rather I did something

About the things I’m sorry for,

Or that I shut up

And learned to live with myself?

You accept me –

So must I.
