Bridges and Fences

The hourglass reminds us time like sand Slides into the past never to come again This makes us think wonder and plan If we are wise and want to make amends In life for those we honestly wronged With our actions or lack of just as strong Can not have that feeling of black retracted Can saying you’re sorry really heal the impacted We can repent and not repeat offenses We can offer friendship build new bridges Put on big boy gloves and work the trenches Let the lord’s love protect us like fences

Mending, amending, an emending. We reap what we sew! (as well as what we sow!). Nicely done, Karen!

Can saying you’re sorry really heal the impacted … We can repent and not repeat offenses We can offer friendship build new bridges…How often do we mess up, so do say…we scour against one another, learning about ourselves and others, doing life better one day at a time, feeling shame, reaching out, and for me reminders of the constant angst, push and pull of life. Stories come from our imperfections.

True. But it’s how we reach out that matters and the fact that we do reach out. Thanks Kim!
