The English poet Alexander Pope once penned, "To err is human; to forgive, divine."
I am a work in progress. There are days that I wonder if I will ever arrive.
With every step forward, I perceive to take two steps back. I give in, allowing pain to rule the day. To not hold back my tongue with those in harm's way.
May it not end there. May lessons learned throughout the bouts of chaos shine all the brighter. May they take witness to the grace in which I stand.
To know the warmth of my love shall never falter.
Yes, we will fail. Not one is exempt from this truth. But there is such beauty within our failure. For that is where mercy is born and hope renewed. And that's life!
