Still Finding Holes...:)

Don't you love first bloom/green

before there are holes in the leaves?

We all have something more to learn no matter what our age

The lessons life taught us, in Time will turn today’s youth sage

Now we are at a loss for words, where once they poured with pride

Like rushing streams, still high on dreams and theory untried

So while we pick up pieces of what once we thought we knew

We should be kind and gracious, while they learn this lesson too

And pray that God would grant an extra angel to keep guard

While they find out that Truth stands firm no matter who we are

…and given Time and love enough the best that we can bring

Is a more patient listening ear and Mercy’s outspread Wing

While those still bold with laughter and reason, still raw and rough

Will find the holes they could not see till given Time enough
