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.
