Human

the gift of a human

the joy and the pain

with flaws that run deep

but life flows in their veins

from their birth to their death

like us, muddling through

he gave not an angel

but a human to you

Humans. All our closest relationships—our parents, our partner, our siblings and friends, all of them are human. The problem with humans is that they are flawed. They make mistakes. They hurt us and disappoint us. 

But they are like us, because we are also human. We have flaws. We make mistakes. We hurt people and disappoint people. The beautiful thing about all being human is that we can understand each other. We know what it is like because we are also human. And maybe, through that, we can find ways to offer grace and forgiveness to each other too.
