Humbly Glad For The Love I've Had...



 Sometimes I play this song to others,
Sometimes I play it to myself😏



I have been loved
What can I say?
In spite of my failures and fumbles
And stumbles and grumbles
And glaring flaws
I’m loved anyway

So, I’ll be humbly glad
For the love I’ve had…

While my track-record
Of foibles grows fat
And I’m middle-age
And likely won’t change
I’ve been hated
For far less than that

Measure of a Mistake


Hush my dear child
And dry your eyes
It is not in our victories
That we become wise

But wisdom is oft found
With our mouth full of dirt
Our face to the ground
And our heart full of hurt

Hush, my dear one
And dry your eyes
Failure and experience
Help make us wise

My mind wandered as we sharpened pencils,
made 'back-to-school' shopping lists...
