20 years and a halfway through

It's been 20 years and halfway through, 

I feel the wind and I breathe deep, 

So deep my bones feel alive;

Maybe, God hasn't given up on me. 

I've never prayed for anybody to stay

But I pray, I only pray for God to never leave me. 

Sometimes, people leave each other, 

They do so for their best. 

They do so for themselves. 

I'll admit it's a little selfish. 

But in just 20 years and halfway through, 

I've learned never to expect perfection, 

Flawless humans without a hint of hate. 

Maybe this is why children see adults as pessimists

And adults see negative adults as realists, 

But the truth is that 

All people are struggling. 

You've got to show them grace.

The way you have been shown.
