I Stand Before You Naked
By Richard Maxfield
2-10-2000


I stand before you naked
Striped of all pride
All I have to offer you
Is what I am inside

Just a man
As God created me to be
An imperfect human
I am what you see

I make mistakes
Each and every day
I strive to learn
And do better in every way

I can tell you something
About what makes me tick
The simple things in life
For me do the trick

God, family and friends
Is where my heart is at
As long as I have these things
On which to hang my hat

Morals, love and kindness
Are traits in which I believe
I work each day to my best
Until these things I achieve

Loyalty, forgiveness and honesty
Are ways in which I live
They are the best presents
Any one can give

When I am gone
I hope each one can say
There was a man
Who lived the best each day
