When does an “is” become an “ain’t”?
What degree of love will prevail?
(Most call eighty percent a “saint”).
At what point does our kindness fail?
How much calm do we call patience?
How much courage do we call brave?
The cut-off point can cause suspense.
Who knows where to condemn (or save)?
Judging others is a fool’s game.
Judging ourselves may lead to pain.
Pity the one’s who point and blame.
Increasing goodness keeps us sane.
Sure God could have made us perfect:
all virtues one hundred percent.
Free-will can choose and well reject.
(Perhaps this hints at God’s intent).
For us discernment must be learned:
(Birth does not come with instructions).
Pain teaches. Real knowledge is “earned”).
Distractions are interruptions.
