Sugary
Abide with grace when pain comes round:
Sense a strong heart that feels harsh strains,
Use cheer to face that dreadful ground;
Gifts of bold art can bear terrain,
Aim to be strong when hurts invoice;
Rise to the task of living bright,
Yield what feels long to inner poise;
Deed what you ask in that sure light,
Invite your fear to speak most clear;
See boldly plain what soul can take,
Etch as you steer sad moods with cheer;
Accept harsh pain that seems to break,
Self-healing shows a gentle grace,
Expect firm glow in precious space.
