there are times –

i wish i could be –

someone else,

anyone – other than – me.

perhaps Martin Luther King Jr.

when dreaming of a utopia

while everyone else was merely sleeping!

or –

Neil Armstrong –

stepping out boldly into the unknown,

selfless,

unaware,

yet – secure!

better yet – than these –

to have been Jesus Christ –

while hanging on the cross –

suffering,

bleeding,

dying…

to look Satan in the eye –

and smile –

unafraid!

to be that – confident –

that forgiving!
