Grace

A good sleep is grace and so are good dreams. Most tears are grace. The smell of rain is grace. Somebody loving you is grace. Loving somebody is grace.

I have to admit

I could use a little grace

just a little

grace is all I need

a sunrise

the golden glow on the mountain

the persistent nudging of Tess the cat

just a little grace

deer, staring at me from amidst the trees

owls hooting in the dark

a friend giving me a hug

acceptance, when I have been less than lovable

OK

I’ll take a lot of grace

God knows I need it!

Really

God knows
