I am not perfect. I make mistakes.

I am not perfect. I make mistakes. I am genuine and forgiving. I wonder what God thinks of us as people. I hear the sound of my sister singing to sold out crowds. I see the glass as always half full. I want to make a difference in someone’s life. I am genuine and forgiving. I pretend that I am stronger than I actually am. I feel my heart swelling with regret. I touch the memories I try to close out. I worry about the soldiers fighting for our freedom while we lay at home in our warm beds. I cry that moments in time are gone forever. I am genuine and forgiving. I understand that life doesn’t last forever. I say that I am working to achieve a better future. I dream about war, peace, and love. I try to make people smile when they’re having a bad day. I hope one day for a cure for diabetes. I am genuine and forgiving.
