Please lead me by the hand
Be my guiding light
Save me from my mixed up self
And keep me safe this night.

Please don`t criticize my failings
I deal with those myself
With a berating memo
Safely stored upon my shelf.

Please don`t look too closely
Around my bedroom suite
The dust could be piling up
And my clothes won`t look so neat.

Please will you forgive me
As on through life I walk,
When friends take priority
If they need to stop and talk.
