Over yonder pastoral realms, with heaving mounds of green
Birds of variegated colors shine, where.streamlets gleam with opal sheen.

Two hearts intertwined, a woman and a man.

The deep creases in Mother's face.
Now as she lay dying, they told a tale
Of selfless service nothing could erase.

In one crease I saw myself at age four
Crying out...

Graciousness reaches out to smooth, to embrace, ruffled emotions
Looks beyond affronts – lifting mercy up on reconciling arms
True thoughtful courtesy caresses inflamed scars like a soothing lotion,
