if I were a better man
I’d not get angry
I would never feel disappointed
I would always forgive
and be more trusting of my fellow man
I would love without expecting love in return
but…
until then, I will try to pretend
I am someone I cannot be
in this lifetime
even in countless lives to come
for I have accepted I am flawed
I have been made human
not God like
I possess all the inherent faults and have made
countless mistakes and misjudgments in every arena
but, I feel there is hope
for there will come a time
when us humans have had enough of this misery
we’ve created all by ourselves
that through the grace of
God our hearts will then miraculously change
and this entire planet
will become a place
with no room for hate and war.
