Mistakes and Grace (with audio)

Trapped being perfect and letting others down caught in the lies of performance  until I almost drowned Hearing a commotion from further down life’s road a woman shouted back at me: I’ll tell you what I know You’ll slip-up in this life and want to hit the break –  don’t be so hard on yourself  it’s okay to make mistakes I’d never heard ofContinueContinue reading “Mistakes and Grace (with audio)”
