Seeking Grace
Just when I thought I was standing so tall
Just when I thought I had done so well
I was reminded I’m not far from hell
Puffed up so proud I fell pretty hard
Realization came when I tasted the dirt
With pride I shouldn’t flirt
Power and pride make a tall man
But a heavy head soon sways
I have been brought back from my ways
On bent knee with a bruised face
I seek Your Grace
Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, God throws ya a curve ball.
Have you been swinging and missing lately? Or hitting homeruns?
Failing at Haiku 
You’re so right: “A heavy head soon sways.” God doesn’t have to knock us down; we fall because our own wobbly pride tips us over too far.
