balancing grace

grace is
a balancing act
of compassion and discipline

give and receive compassion
when you’re too hard on yourself
give and receive discipline
when you’re too soft on yourself

this balancing act
teaches forgiveness and gratitude
it allows a new start

only when you’ve been forgiven
are you able to forgive
that is why the sun rises, and
that is why the sun sets

a remembrance of
God’s gift within
the gift of grace

This poem was initially written for an artwork in the show “Essence of Grace.” Click here for more details on the piece and the other pieces that were on exhibit Fall 2025.
