Graced

is it tangible?
is there a texture, taste, feel, depth or sense to it?
how does one take hold of
and look into the face of grace?
hard pressed, buffetted from all around
yet grace breaks through
and provides daily sustenance.
the goal of ultimate perfection
is too huge and overwhelming to contemplate.
it is enough to be well for this day.
day after day
and one day i shall discover
i have arrived at the end.
one day we shall sit in heaven
and chat for a long, long time
and we shall look out into golden sunshine
beyond the laughing faces of our children
into eternal grace and life.
