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.
