Shards of Sand

Grace

She sings the words
Not quite knowing
The weight or meaning
Makes her want to cry but
Problem is she doesn't know why..
My friend, look around you
Go through these lyrics
You can keep them
And I'll help you see
The One who always helps me..
You may need that cane
You may forget the things I say
But I'm trusting you won't
Feel stuck anymore and I
Pray you don't lose these words..
Black ink so deep staining this
Sheet between our fingertips
That's you and me..
See this tear torn from a tear
A sacrifice to free this from
A stubborn, biting rubber band
Which can still snap back at us
Sometimes but the point is the
Paper is free and though there's
A gash right under verse three
It doesn't hinder you or me from
Reading singing definitely believing..
And look right here
The rubber band lying limp
And defeated on the ground
Triumph is all I see
When I look at this sheet..
And I have this for you
For you folded from pure white
Light as a feather this
Crane is for you
This crane can be you
Set free and flawless
In the eyes of the maker
Because we made it and we love it..
I might never see you again
I probably won't on this earth
But when I say
I'm praying for you
I mean it and I'm praying hard
That these words don't slip
And I have a feeling they'll stick
Because that's just what Amazing is.
