Grace I feel you with me in my darkest hour that
screams of need
planting in my empty little heart a new feeling of
unsinkable hope that from me I know will never bleed
I hear your musical voice telling me you are so very near
and that if I close my eyes I'll see you and know there
is nothing I should fear
what exactly you give to me I can't quickly explain
yet like to this desert of despair you bring your love
like rain
what is needed most you see that it is graciously given
I know you'll be with me always whether I be dead or
alive and living
one day soon I just know we will stand face to face
and you'll kiss my forehead too and I'll gaze transfixed
into your eyes until you assure me that ,'this is indeed
the final resting place'
and I'll timidly ask, 'Are you God ?'
for a part of me thinks that maybe you are
the soft feminine side of his supreme spirit
the gentlest star
I love you grace like I have nor ever will no other
for you must surely be the ultimate nurturer
the highest form of the true concept of
the term mother............
