as they are, where they are

as they are, where they are
without prejudice or pretense
meeting others in our flesh
truly, freely, openly
coming before our neighbors
as our true selves
beloved children of God.

seeking to heal
to lighten the loads
of our sisters and brothers
loving the sinners, others
because we too are unworthy
as they are, where they are
each one of us beloved.
