Grace, Three
Grace arrives quietly between intention and imperfect action
It waits in the moments we do not do fabulously
And shows care without erasing the need for reflection
She misses a goal but I can guarantee anger will not knock on the door
I offer guidance wrapped in patience as that is what I am here for
Holding space for growth without insisting on perfection
Softness does not remove the boundaries that shape understanding
It strengthens the connection that keeps our efforts aligned
And teaches that accountability and compassion can coexist fully
I ask questions instead of giving orders that demand compliance
Her voice finds room to speak without fear or doubt
Learning to quiet judgment and allow mistakes to settle
We breathe together before reacting to tension or frustration
The pause becomes a ritual of repair and attentiveness
Reminding us that we are committed to the same direction
Grace is there, too, in words spoken with care and intention
It is sitting silently listening to our thoughts before we talk
The acknowledgment that growth requires patience and steady attention
Even under the weight of expectation and perfectionism
Gentleness strengthens the structure that supports shared understanding
No dress rehearsals anymore this is our life
