Good Bad Special Me

GOOD

What’s good about me? Nothing
and everything. Nothing because
                     like everyone else I am a sinner;
everything because like some I am saved.
My attempt to do good is nothing at all
                 unless I walk in my Father’s shoes



                           BAD

I can be like a tape on repeat. Can you visualize
the movie reel:                 ‘round and ‘round it goes
flapping in the wind,       like flapjack pajamas,
exposing the               hind quarters to everyone.
— happens when I feel wronged

but sista…oh brother, by the grace of God
     I’m an overcomer


                          SPECIAL

I grin like a Cheshire cat, with my pearly off-whites.

I carry my bible in my heart. Can’t take it away from me.
                    it’s part of me — well Jesus is.

Love my family, like most…
I want the best for them like most…
Like some, their eternity is a grave matter…

I pray without ceasing. For them, you and me
