State of grace

I’ve got it today, had it yesterday,

but for tomorrow who can really know

because grace is a state that comes and goes

when humans behave in the strangest of ways.

Fortunately so it always is there

buried down deep waiting to rise

and bloom like a rose to offset the thorns

life is so keen to challenge us with.

So we rise to the challenge and not to the grace

and cut the thorns down however we can

but with never a care for those poor lowly thorns

grace will forever stay out of our reach.

But I’ve got it today and I celebrate

while keeping the faith that it never will leave

but, of course, it never can ever do that

while totally comfortable within our keep.

However, sometimes it cries day and night

for lonely it is without our company

and really how much does it cost to visit

and spend some time in a state of grace?
