I have held new life in my arms and cried sweet tears of joy.
I have held new death in my arms and cried bitter tears of pain
I have watched the best of humanity reach out to help the afflicted
I have watched the worst of humanity snatch bread from a starving child
I have been the prodigal son
I have stayed to do the hard work
I have soared with the eagles
I have bedded down with the pigs
I have laughed with old friends
I have cried with strangers
I have nurtured
I have destroyed
I have loved, and been undeservedly loved
I have hated, and been deservedly hated
I have been a stranger
I have been an old friend
I have been a father
I have been a son
I have learned
I have taught
I have watched the sun rise over the desert
I have watched the sun set over snow fields
I have stared at the stars in the sky
I have wondered at the sand in the sea
I have danced in the rain
I have mourned in the sunshine
I have been blessed
I have forgotten to give thanks for my blessings
I have prayed for peace
I have prayed for victory
I have prayed for forgiveness

Yours? Outstanding, no matter from whence it came. Thank you.
Well said, thank you...
Thanks y'all. That's been rumbling around for a while and finally got good enough to write down.
