I Am...

Just as a child learns a lesson,
because the stove was very hot
or the child finally realizes that possessions
are not safe in the driveway;

or just as the tempo escalates
as the symphony reaches the vista of the overture
leaving behind one of the sweetest of melodies;

and just like after a storm has left too much damage in it's wake
maybe even...sometimes, serious destruction,
all because it hit a location
too fragile for it's very own existence;

or just as a father or husband,
after having missed the "celebration"
due to the overtimes, and business trips, in life..........I am forgiven, for now.
