Flawed Place (poem) by John Herlihy on AuthorsDen

Can anyone put himself above God not to forgive? Mortals sin daily and are in need of His forgiveness. If this person is reaching to you to point out the fact that he has "a flawed place in the fabric of his heart" he has no fabric. 'Powerful write!!

Love ya!

Not all students appreciate their teachers. Some are really bad students. Then there are those students who would form their own opinions on things that need to be discussed upon. As long as they are willing to form some sort of discussion with you you are still considered to be their best teacher and being appreciated.

Welcome back, John!

Most excellent poem sir. I'm afraid we can't make it through life without collecting a few flaws, and some of us feel it through the fabric of our heart.

Cheers,

"Some people do not deserve a free kindness,"

This, then is the whole of your fantastic poem, John, and it is good to see you back from your travels. True enough that people do not deserve anything but scorn.

We all have flaws, and we all have e a dark side, and they can both make us better if we don't let them control us. Nicely done, and welcome back.

It is interesting that you often come back to a similar theme in your poetry. But I believe "going back to steady work" helps relieve the anxiety that brings on this poetry harkening on haunting.

I find this uniquely effective written in third person. At some point we all have to embrace being perfectly imperfect. Certainly God works through flawed people because He makes so very few of the other kind. Well expressed, John. Enjoyed. Peace... r

I have felt this way many a time dear John. That is why as I age I choose whom I give to more aware then when I was young. Still we cannot change our way, we are who we are. You touched a tender spot in me this morning. My mom passed away peacefully and we celebrated her life two days ago. Take care. Life is precious so are friends. I consider you one of them. Hugs.
