How interesting.

You see,
At the end of the day,
We all go home,
To our own homes,
To our own beds,
To our own realities,
To our own selves.

Selves that only we ourselves know,
Selves that only we ourselves can judge,

And sometimes,
One has the urge to say something,
Something socially unacceptable,
Or something that may end up biting ourself in the butt.

And only the completely honest,
Will dare to speak.

Or so it may seem.

The sad thing is,
Emotions tend to lead us to false judgments,
And we tend to believe,
In our self righteous, self justified claims,
But at the end of the day,
Our own realities,
May not differ that far from those whom we judge.

Which makes me wonder,
How is it,
Man as we are,
That this concept of Godly grace can be acceptable,
That we,
Imperfect, insatiable, hypocritical men,
Can be loved,
By a cosmic deity who exists as a concept of perfection.

Amazing grace,
A lesson I'm still learning from day to day,
Definitely not easy,
But satisfying.

Once you realise that,
Loving your neighbour as yourself,
Despite one's flaws and inequities,
Without judgement,
Or self praise in comparison,
It leads to an understanding,
That nothing really matters,
And it all comes down to a matter of the heart.

You're It.

We can build a fort out of pillows in our living room
Play tag in the kitchen like we used to do
I can hide, you seek come find me.

We can take our bikes to the park you know the one downtown?
And we can swing on the swings until the sun goes down.
Nothings changed with age.

You're still as lovely as the first day
I told my mama you'd be mine one day
I'd be your everything, could not wait

I'm so happy to say I was right
Cos you, are the only for me
I've known for so long

And you make me feel right, child like
I'm right where I belong with you

Teach me how to jump rope
I can teach you how to climb
Play ball, then you can help
Me color in the lines.

Always knew we'd make a great team.
I can be the cop, you're the robber since
You stole my heart or red rover, I can
Rap you up in my arms or play house
In our house

Pigtails and hand me downs
Couldn't disguise what you'd be
I see you then as I see you now

Perfect, lovely, worth it to me
All I ever need
Cos you, are the only for me

I've known for so long
And you make me feel right
Child like
I'm where I belong with you.

Epiphany

Amazing.
I just had an amazing conversation.
It's one of those where suddenly,
Everything makes sense,
Where it all fits into place,
Where you realise things,
Thing you should've known,

Just simply amazing.

That's it.
This is the point of no return.

A stand has to be made.
Where right choices are made,
Where mistakes are accounted for.
Where forgiveness lies.

Amazing.

I'm still in awe.

God is good.
All the time.
Truly amazing.

Jon.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound - John Newton
