Grace

Sufficient should be grace
And grace be sufficient
For the haste and pace
Of our harsh judgments
Increases chastisements we could face
Where past deeds can be future predicaments

Conversations can be warm
Same time be fires
Other times brewing storms
And at best be soothing lyres
As their discipline forms
And ethic to ethic they sire

One could be right
And another wrong
One with good sight
And another sturdy and strong
But light and might
Will crush our plight as we forge along
