grace is humble sight
for the mirror is clear,
no gloss or excuses,
stripped of justifications,
grace covers our nakedness

grace is full of light
for our life is exposed,
open and uncovered.
no explanations
grace answers our honesty.

grace is the healer,
and the story may be told,
fearless, courageous
no hesitations
grace enables our liberation.

my story is not my own
it is married to love
my pain is not alone
it is shared by a world of broken lives
and the heaven of the broken heart.

Grace is.
