God's Grace

"Shield of Faith"
by Atlanta Marie Carrera

God's grace shines down upon this child,

an innocent whose slate is clean,

surrounded now by love supreme,

protected through this very sin.

What does this world now hold for him?

A life of struggle, trapped within,

a lowly state in human terms,

but souls are meant for bigger things.

Our judgement skewed by limited view.

Open wide our hearts to you,

and feel God's Grace upon this earth,

and fear no more from all this hurt.

(for Jackson)
