Analysis of When I Digress
I do digress and make a mess
Of plans that I have made.
Procrastination and stagnation
Are creeds that need to fade.
You'd think I'd yearn and try to learn
To do my best each day.
But old-time fears of bygone years
Will still get in my way.
With faith I've found I can rebound
To finish what I start.
And faith will show how far to go;
God's love inside my heart!
