grace

grace
is the name of a girl
in the words of a boy

when feeling content
at the moment of loss

knowing all play was fair
believes all things are possible

it makes me cry in the morning
gives me peace at goodbye

holding you with an open hand
receiving your love without conditions

asking for more on my side of the altar
embracing my solitude just being with you

singing Hannah’s song after giving you up
glimpsing Job’s patience soaked in your hospitality

not getting what I want
yet wanting what I have

still believes the power of hope
and sees the colours after the rain

grace
is still the name of a girl
after the words of a boy
