The Poetic Word

Grace

BY GLORIA O’KOYE

A miracle to forgive the damned.

To be set free from past mistakes.

To experience what it means to have

A second chance.

Even after all the pain.

A remedy to relieve any tension.

Tension from being misunderstood.

 

To walk away from the sting,

The marks left on both cheeks,

Instead of taking out the eye

To replace what was lost.

An act that may be ridiculed.

 

Depending how severe the situation is.

But a graceful statement may come in

Hidden blessings.

Returning the favour

When those moments really need it.

 

Grace is not weakness

But representing true inner strength

And peace.

It’s a gift that many will struggle,

But it would be the key to keep.

A lesson on spiritual maturity.

 

Though many days and nights

It shall be questioned.

Everything will make sense

As the grace matures as it gets older.

Only old souls will understand

That the youth would ponder.

 

Grace is like a beautiful dress to dance

In a glorious ball.

Right in the center for all the watch in

Envy and awe.

Grace is happily ever after.

 

Like the essence of hope escaping

From Pandora’s box.

Grace is like the heaven’s kiss,

To soothe the wounds inflicted

By the Earth’s burning core.

Grace is what is needed

In this world

That needs reminders of

What is faith and love.
