The Mother (subtitle ‘Grace’)

Grace ……what is grace?

 

It’s Him

watching me

hit my child

and scream

for no other reason

than my impotent

frustration

 

…… Him watching me

and not destroying me

…… still loving me

…… forgiving me

as I cried to Him

in horror and despair.

…… Him making of me

a mother

of sorts

no better and no worse

than many

but more blessed than most

because I knew

He

was watching

me.
