A Letter to Justin

Grant me grace
As I fall into this place,
With so much acheived
And so much more to go.

Grant me grace
As I recall my old face,
Such rivers of emotions,
Immaculate proportions.

Grant me grace
In slowness and in haste,
For the color and the sound
Are just noisy trains moving 'round!

Grant me grace
For God's Sakes,
It's Christmas Eve!
Can't I just for once believe?

Grant me this grace,
Justin Case.
