GIFTS OF GRACE

She wasn't born then
She did not see you
She did not touch you
But yet, she embraced you.

She wasn't around then
She did not walk with you
She did not talk with you
But yet, she loves you

She was not alive then
She did not sing with you
She did not dance with you
But yet, she has joy

She did not exist then
She did not mourn with you
She did not see you suffer
But yet, she is blessed

You ask how she knows you to be
Look at a tree or the sea
Look at her
She is set free
