all too human...on a day of remembrance

you...fragile in your strength
broken in your integrity
taken too soon by indifference and hate
I am so sorry for not changing sooner

all too human...

me...foolish in my pride
convinced in my argument
failing to remember the servant who
himself was forgiven
as if you even needed forgiveness

all too human...

love and pain mingle together
loss and renewal as we remember
saddened yet not without hope
as heart by heart
choose to accept and embrace change

all too human...

weeping lasts the night
but joy comes in the morning
which morning, dear god?
will it be tomorrow?
