un4giveable

i can think of 

490 sins of  

omission and 

it'd 

break my heart 

to see you for give 

me 

for any one  

of them 

 

it took us

nearly a half century 

to polish 

this pearl of great 

price 

40 years 

in babylon 

my love

to set the 

“captive” free 

 

half my 

life 

to find the words or 

rather ...

to forget,

to embrace the 

wisdom 

of the flesh, 

be-fore the letter’s 

tyranny


now i see

clearly now the

writing

on the wall of

the heart

if not 

that would truly be

un4giveable

 

now knee-deep 

in the Jordan 

you hold my

hand and 

all i wish 4 

are 40 more 

years making more 

good memories 

than bad

with you
