Unmerited Favor

Unmerited favor falls down like rain--

gracefully available

when I choose to receive it.

I stand beneath in

awe and wonder,

face upturned

to experience that

which can never be earned.

It may be true that

I've done wrong, but

suddenly I realize

I am not wrong.

I am perfect in

my own imperfection.

Now: I choose to be

tethered to unconditional love

rather than the long trail of

mistakes I've made along

the path of my life.
