Notes About The Poem

Saving Grace

when your blue sky
              turns gray,
          when all flowers 
        in your garden wilt,
when the light switch of hope
               flicks off
           to pitch-black,
             turning you
                 blind;
                 when 
                  your
                   up 
                    is
                 down;
          when you have
            nothing else
             to cling to -
                 faith
      is your saving grace.

I do believe.... ! When everything fails, we can depend solely on the thought that we will be taken care of by the One above. This hope and faith is our anchor in turbulent waters. Beautifully written and artistically formatted, Edward !
