Only Human
by Marc Gunn, Bard 11/27/02

Humble depression combined with hope can be a powerful thing for someone who is searching his way for everlasting love.

Yes, I am only human.
I am man overflowing with weaknesses and faults.
I am unworthy of love and friendship.
I am not worth the air I breathe.

But I can learn...

And I can grow...

I can correct my mistakes with a LOT
    of conscious effort.
And through my imperfections...
I will become a better human being. One more deserving of affection.
And mayhaps one day,
    more worthy of God's everlasting love.

I wish it were tomorrow. But if it were, then this day might never end.
So instead, I will patiently think and pray, right now.

I will listen for God's whispers.
And I will hear Him in the trees and on the leaves.
And with a little bit of mercy, just maybe...

I will find out...

That I am no longer

... Only human.
