Your Day in Court
The line is long and the waiting fierce,
Like pickup time at daycare, or soccer practice
And the choice of being is not so clear,
but choosing is part of the lesson's advice.
And God knows this and wants you to judge
yourself as if your friends put you on trial
not for you to stay stuck and not budge,
but to understand what went wrong without denial,
and bestow the mercy of that understanding
when you take them to court for justice's sake.
Perhaps on that day you'll opt to forego upperhanding.
The greatness or smallness of whatever mistake
comes down in the end to kindness, restoration and grace.
Pogo said it best: "We have met the enemy and he is us."
