Higher Power

Notes

This poem came out of the topic of grace. As I make mistakes throughout my life, it’s easy to get lost in my own self, my issues, my imperfections. When I catch a glimpse of grace — godly or otherwise — it can still be hard to grab hold of it as I doubt its reality and whether it’s really there for me.

Grace — or leeway, forgiveness, mercy — is a sweet gift.

I’d also like to try an edit of this without the male-deity language. I think it might feel more applicable to the range of my experiences with grace.
