As love abounds
God’s grace surrounds.

We are then cared well, blest indeed
to inspire gratefulness’ delight
while sharing bliss of kindness’ light
our hearts reach out to those in need.

To inspire gratefulness’ delight
we overcome selfishness-greed
our faith enlivens prayer creed 
while sharing bliss of kindness’ light.
 
As love abounds
to inspire gratefulness’ delight
we enjoy every helping deed
while sharing bliss of kindness’ light
God’s grace surrounds.

God’s grace surrounds
as love* abounds.

Titus 3:4 … The kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared.

Great coupling of love and God's grace for the repetition. I like too that being blest, the bliss is shared by helping those in need...fine thoughts on which to meditate daily, Beata. Congratulations on a lovely ballad and your win.

Congratulations Beata! Your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest. This contest was difficult, calling for exacting syllable counts and perfect rhymes, as requirements of this form. Well done my friend, Emile.
