A Tale of Grace

Starting early in hope,
Holding firm the rope,
Who knows if I can cope,
Am a seed sown in love.

Midlife my story changed,
Life’s uncanny tricks brought a cage,
With little hope to keep up with fate,
A twist of hope, with no reason to live

Like a journey through the desert sand,
Dancing to a lifeless band,
Waiving to a cheerless crowd,
Passion only kept me going

I have heard the taste of honey,
Smelled the passion of life,
Starting through the ladder,
My story is a tale of grace
