STATE OF GRACE

She walks with confidence
Into the day she will witness
All that one should never know
She will hear your story & keep it close

In a state of grace she will go forth
Taking a moment in time to hold you dear
Then onto so many more that need her so
She cannot stay, only long enough to hear
To wipe a tear from eyes that have cried far too long

She will see what others cannot bear
She will listen to what others cannot hear
Grace fills her face
For she has seen and heard the worst

Your story will not deflect her
No one can stop the goal ahead
No pain from the past can deter her will
She will move forward determined not to fail

Intensity & a depth rarely seen
What others who really know her perceive
For to those closest to her see beyond the beauty
Inside the heart to the soul where so few can go

You think you know her
Then out of the blue she will surprise you
Exploring another side to her multi-dimensional self
Walking again into the unexplored

Seeing with the most beautiful of eyes
All that makes up this world
Its horror, its beauty, its cruelty, its harmony
If your eyes ever meet
From a state of grace, you will have known
The loveliness of an extraordinary soul
