Grace

GRACE

A word defining many things when contemplating meaning
perceptions vary with circumstances as we all have our own
life experiences

in imagery painted as a poised and delicate ballerina
who moves with charm and beauty through renowned
love story’s

girls name meaning “God’s blessing and favor”
unconditional love and forgiveness from parents 
to children

as Christians it speaks of God’s unfailing love and mercy
generous, free , entirely unexpected and undeserved
sacrificial salvation

I like to see it as peace of mind in plans and ideation
enabled by a higher power that of the only one
true God

happiness and success like Grace cannot be pursued  
instead surrender to a greater power and permit it 
to ensue


"Life's experience-love story's to children--sacrificial salvation-true God to ensue"
