i'm old enough

i'm old enough

to say Yes to sin

not stuck in blame

as my game

i'm it

the one 

my sin shines before me

and Thee

no cheap release from responsibility

for sin is mine

and mine to repent

for the wicked are healed by good

if i but do it

and die

and keep dying

till what is seen 

is You

the day we acknowledge God fears us not

is the day we'll know God's love

we'll own ourselves for who we are

be set free to breathe the air

watch a bee and touch a wave

bury the gods that hold us bound

we'll hear the welcome hymn

we'll sing the welcome song

*It has been said that all medicines are poison and that the difference lies in dose. 

-Richard S. Sandor, M.D.
