Grace

Ali Canary
I listen while Bono sings

"Grace Finds Beauty in Everything"

I want grace, the lightness of being

The love, the quiet joy in heart

The stillness of the soul

The mercy conferred, "there but for the grace..."

Gracious is the giving and forgiving heart

Graceful is the one who moves through the world

Disturbing nothing, leaving a tender air

Of peace, that is

Grace.

    Beautiful poem. I've often wondered if grace is a gift bestowed upon people because others are praying for them.

    Oh my, Ali, this is so beautiful. I especially love the lines you wrote starting w/ "Graceful is the one who moves through the world..." This poem carries a grace about it & moves me gently.
