un4giveable

i can think of 

490 sins of  

omission and 

it'd 

break my heart 

to see you for give 

me 

for any one  

of them 

 

it took us

a quarter century 

to polish 

this pearl of great 

price 

25 years 

in babylon 

my love 

a long time 

to set the 

“captive” free 

 

half my 

life 

to find the words or 

rather 

to forget 

to embrace the 

wisdom 

of the flesh 

be-fore the letter’s 

tyranny


now i see

clearly now the

writing on the

wall of the heart

had i not then

that would truly

be un4giveable

 

now knee deep 

in the jordan 

you 

hold my hand and 

all i wish 

4 

are 24 more 

years 

making more 

memories with

you
