I Stand In Awe



Standing deeply
     before another
     one like us
     yet
          fully themselves.

If we only
     knew . . .

We see
     not looking
          scars
          blemishes
          faults
          annoyances
          irritants
          differences
          appearances
          surfaces

If we only
     knew . . .

We are
     put off
          by what we      
          see
     and miss
          what we
          won't.

If we only
     knew . . .

There
     standing before us
          one of the least
               His brethren
          A stranger
               angel
          One who will
               never die
          Glory disguised
as ordinary

And so we stand -
     and so we should -
          in awe.
     For who knows . . .
          . . . ?
