i. saying "Grace"
He said goodbye.
Today, she packed her bags,
left Missing Him.
His familiar voice
she returned in flowers—
grown by his hand, and bag of food
to cook for himself. Again
He continued as before he was himself,
saying grace
without her.
ii. Saving Grace
She said hello to Grace
today, unpacked her heart—
its Missing, to hear His familiar voice
returned to her in flowers,
in his hand, in grocery bags
of food for them. Again continued
as before she was what she did not see
was Grace.
