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
