I am Human after all!

I have my moments of rage,
I may appear as the son of perdition sometimes,
I am really really sorry to torment your soul that way.
No, this is because within the constitution of my being,
There lies deeply rooted a feeling of heavenly beauty and perfection.
It is this that I pine for, that the world maybe as I feel and see it inside.
When I revolt -- something I will do now in and then, time after time;
I am only dismayed by what I see outside.
I can not come to terms with the outside,
I feel besieged by all this reality outside.
May I be forgiven for I am only human after all.
Ah! did you not hear that,
even the Son of Man turned the tables at the temple?
Don't you think He too was dismayed at the contrast.
The contrast of the inner beauty and perfections
and the outer ugly and inequities in the midst?

Make Me a Man that I Am!

Let me not be the one to pay your bills.
Please, please, let me not be the one to get your hair done.
I beg you please,  

let me not be the one to give you money whenever you need it.
If at all,  let me not be the one to take care of you.
Can I be the one to pray with and for you.
Can I be the one to encourage you always.
Can I be the one to stimulate your beautiful mind.
The one to nourish your gentle soul, to put the icing thereof.
The one to help you always to put things into perspective.
To support and uplift you to achieve your dearest of goals and dreams in life.
To get you back on track whenever you're I steered off course.
Can I be your man, not boyfriend and you my woman and not girlfriend?
Can I be your hero and you the queen of my heart and ledger of my soul?
