The number five represents grace,

that I have looked in the face and saw me

as I should be, not as I am.

 

I looked in the face and saw me…

and didn’t turn away this time,

because you were looking too.

 

I didn’t turn away this time,

because you were looking past my past

and looking to who I would be.

 

You were looking past my past

and you let me see a glimpse of the real me

not the abused, lost, broken me.

 

You let me see a glimpse of the real me,

and I didn’t turn away this time.

That is grace.  That is grace.
