Forgive and forget the antics of
                                        the stubborn man;
yet, endure the innocence of young faith.

The world is a scary place to him;
perhaps he just doesn't know where he is going.

For we all learn to walk on our own accord, but
it's where we choose to travel that

                                                           ­  delineates us.

And, as an ***'s calf stumbles from the womb,
so he, too,
                                   will learn to walk;
but, whether or not he lives to foster
                                        another ***
or walk blindly off
                                       the precipice
                                         of decency —
Perhaps he will live for both . . .      ↓
                                                        ­     — remains to
                                                              ­                        be seen.
. . . or
perhaps, he will live to transcend into the eternal folds of elsewhere—
                                                      ­                  DIVINITY
somewhere between _____________ and ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ .
                                     KNOWLEDGE

Only this stubborn man's
                          time

               will
