Being Human Poem by Eddie Roa

Being Human

Rating: 5.0


Lord I do not wish
To hide from you,
I’m too lazy, I say

You molded me
From lowly clay,
Am I to blame?

Can I help it
If I err?
Only human, I say

Free will is
A handy phrase but,
Is it really there?

Redemption I can’t own
The Fall, as well,
Not mine to will, I say

It is God’s grace
If success is undeserved,
Failure surely the Devil’s

Conscience perplexed,
Helpless yet blamed,
Innocent but guilty

Simple minded me
In a quandary, how else,
Accept the mystery, I say

All the world is a stage on which we play the assigned role. In the drama innumerable souls, a little known and unknown much, enjoy its beauty as such, submit to Him and His Grace touch. CP

We all doubt our capability to please God, but please him we do when we thank him.

Recognizing is one thing, accepting that we are but humans is another...both well penned in here.
