Gentleness of sunrise
Balance breathes again
Sharing wonder of light
Landscape sings “Amen”
Another soul wakens
Patience gathers near
Offering way homeward
Today, never fear
Joy softens hardened heart
Grace deals one more hand
Playing out game of choice
Hope’s journey shall stand
Waves of freedom compose
Tomorrow’s high road
Navigating with trust
Life’s spirit reloads
Harmony overcomes
Each moment to prize
Uplifting from heavens
Tender at sunrise

Grace defines you. As grace sinks in, earthly labels fade. You are who God says you are. Spiritually alive. Heavenly positioned.
