The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Grace

A little early bday/ Grace Day gift for Grace-Grey

Isn't it strange
How from across the world
We can connect?

Your soul was like an old friend
Clapping mine on the back
And welcoming them home

It started with little things
A shared name, for one
Was a quick ice breaker,
Followed by late nights of laughter
That echoed across
a too large country.

Just like any sisters,
We argue
And tease,
And fight,
Only to wind up smiling
Glad for the other's existence

We both wandered
Down roads dark and twisty
With nothing but desperate words
Across a screen to push us forward
But sometimes,
Words can be enough,
Lighting a flame just bright enough
To find your way.

Although I can't place
a reassuring hand atop your shoulder
As life tries to tear you down
I will not waver
In my constant support
Belief
And love
For my sister from another universe

For I know she is mighty
She is brave
And smart
And strong enough
To face the beast of life
And when she loses her way
I will light a candle
To guide her back.

In one explanation,
Grace is defined as
"A divinely gifted talent
Or blessing"

How fitting.

A blessing.
