I Am Neither
I am neither
Catholic nor Protestant
Republican or Democrat
Man nor beast
Sinner nor Saint
I walk and I stumble
Both on the road and in the swamp
I am who I am yet not nearly myself
A man of sorrows a man of great joy
I am Child of my Father
Eternally found
Lost to my fellows
Located by cries
Misunderstood in twilight
Even the ant knows better her way
Than I without colony or task
Still I have received good gifts from on high
And will be drawn to my home at last.
