and I will give away all my sins to know thee,



Alma 22:18

I will give my money, and my time and effort, too, 
when I am called upon to help another in a stew.
But when the call is coming to give up my little sins,
that is when my stubbornness so frequently begins.
For I may have my foibles, but they are so very small
that it is too much bother to get rid of them at all.
Tarnished and defective though my soul may be at times,
can't I be excused because I write such witty rhymes?
O man, a voice doth come to me, your striving to improve
is the only way that into Heaven you can move!
