Grace

GRACE

By: S. Merlette

Gracefully hug yourself, and whisper “I love you. I am proud of you”.

You understood it is okay, not to be okay.

Be proud of how you have handled life, the silent battles you fought.

The moments you had to humble yourself, fighting through your insecurities,

and how hard your life has been.

I saw you cry as you watched the people you love leave…and at times.

It felt like you couldn’t breathe.

Your mind racing “how could this be, why is this happening to me?”

Crumbling to your knees. Crying uncontrollably.

At that moment I saw your GRACE. When you got back up.

On the floor you would NOT stay.!

You wiped your own tears, smiling through the pain. Reassuring yourself

““It will be okay.”

You were patient with your healing and gentle with your heart.

You let it all go, and at that moment you started to glow.

I am proud of you,

I just need you to know.
