learning to love...again & again

i learned to love
learned to hold tight
learned to let go

in this order,
a hundred times over. 

my fists,
made a fool out of me. 

my god, 
made a child out of me. 

my need,
made a beggar out of me. 

a fool. a child. a beggar. 
i am found out & thus relieved. 

to boast in myself is all in vain.
to boast in grace is nothing but gain.

may others see me
& say "me too".
