“GRACE” by George Ella Lyon

the grace of figure skaters
grace under pressure
the grace of God
grace before meals
Dot said, Corky, would you say grace?
And Corky said, Grace
We giggled and ate
the grace of butterflies
of a path through the woods
worn by the grace of many feet
kept clear by the grace of trail-tenders
the grace of ballerinas
of mothers at weddings
of babies crowning
the grace of otters
of elephants embracing
the mud they wallow in
of a voice that reaches, finds, and gives the ear
that note the song longs for
the grace of weeds obscuring
the grace of flowers
the grace of my cat
walking haughtily away
from the hairball she just threw up
on my newspaper
the grace of clouds laddered with sunset fire
the grace of your live eyes
receiving these words
