Grace Settles Softly

Grace settles softly, A cheerful chirp like delight mixed with my cynical disbelief. I deserved so much worse; I was waiting for so much more.

Grace breathes Her life into crushed hopes, a gentle whisper at a time;

A friendly whiff of encouragement once, twice, until... Grace begins to live a life of Her own; Outside of me, Yet from me And I lay myself down again to be this channel of Grace, This echo of Hope, one decisive moment at a time.
