What I love

...is their willingness
to champion right and
overcome wrong,
even when they
may be the ones
who sidestepped
into a world they
don't want to be a part of.

What I love is the honesty,
the quick nod of the head,
the detailing of the story,
an admittance that, actually,
"more than that happened."

What I love is that they know
something we have almost forgotten:
this is about learning,
and repairing, returning
your life to plumb. 
And what they trust in is
forgiveness, the resurrection
in tomorrow, and simply
doing better the next time around.
