Looking Back
I am so far removed from the under-30.
'Dame the torpedoes; full speed ahead'.
No rearview mirror; no looking back.
Overly ambitious; overwhelming determination.
Indeed, true confession is good for the soul.
I regret the hurt that I must have caused.
But we often forget such until we are old.
I can't believe the riskiness and the daring.
Although honest, sincere, and hiding nothing,
I took matters into my own hands, never considering
that such authority was never placed in my hands.
I can't believe the 'unthinking of me', and presently,
it's hard to fathom the blatancy and youthful foolishness
that I once deemed as Christian faith. I have sighed over
my early days of blindness, thanking God for His Favor and
Grace. I am forever grateful to those who tolerated me.
