13. Perhaps we only see what's on our side of the street...

I mean those of us who work hard, who try to do and say what's right,
and run hard to stay in the same place.

Perhaps.. those who slide on thru.. will hit a major road blockage..
where we won't see or hear.
But it's not ours to judge.

I have heard of the incidence of those 'easy riders'
coming back into one's life with a major "amends.."

But that's not for us to say.
I'm just keeping on keepin' on.
So tired frankly.
That's why the concept of 'grace' sound so refreshing.
I'm still waiting my dose of grace...

But I know what you mean about our kids.
I had a sweetie with a big heart, and the world stomped her.
She's still trying to claim her section of the rainbow,
but we can't protect them from the slings and arrows,
nor can we bear what is meant for them.
Just love 'em and wrap them in our arms when they need it.
