My Place of Grace

I’ve been to that place

Where you walk the crooked mile.

I’ve fallen on my knees

With tears in my eyes

As I’ve fought for hard won steps.

I know what Afo’s and kafo’s.

I know what it’s like to cry and praise.

I’ve been hurt and I’ve been

Healed.

I made it to this place of grace

Where I’ve learned acceptance

Doesn’t mean giving up

Or giving in

But pushing through the storms.

I’ve seen some broken

By the very beast

And others seemingly made whole.
I’ve walked that crooked miles

On my knees

And on my face.

I’ve dreamed a thousand dreams

And made a million memories

As I learned to find

My place of grace.
