Amazing grace, how sweet the sound... that saved... a wretch like me?

I've never really considered myself a wretch before. It's a bad word. It's a word for someone who is no longer human. It evokes visions of crushed crawling beings hobbling forward, screaming out and crying for help. Brownish and wrinkled, creeping through streets of dead people. So I've got a vivid imagination.

That's not me. I'm put-together. I'm a good kid. I do the right thing. I try to help people all the time. I'm a wholesome kid of the happy-go-lucky 50s era, the girl next door, the pastor's kid. Knights ride around in shining armor on white horses - I ride a pink beribboned bike in a Technicolor world.

Or is that really me?

Maybe... I'm a wretch with blindness to boot.

But that means grace is really for me.
