Limited

I cannot be all things to all people

So let me do some things, for some people.

I cannot change the entire world.

So let me change the world around me.

 

I can never be wholly perfect.

But if I was, I’d have no friends—

So let me be openly imperfect

That I might have many.

 

I cannot live forever

But may forever live in me.

I cannot be everywhere at all times

But may I truly BE wherever I am.

 

I cannot love another perfectly

But I can show them Perfect Love.

I can never bring someone peace

But I can peacefully live.

 

I can never, ever do it all—

I give that up to do my share.

I cannot carry another’s load

But I can walk with them for a while.

 

I’m done with trying to do the impossible,

Laying down the superwoman cape.

I choose to rejoice at what I’m able

And don the servant’s robe instead.
