Saving Grace – Love, Kindness, Spirituality
Saving Grace
This poem was inspired by There is a Better Way by Tony DeLorger
Saving Grace is something we all need
To compensate for our imperfections,
Love, kindness, spirituality we should heed,
When wishing to make the right connections.
As we grow older we hopefully have learned
From mistakes we made along the way,
To take the same path where we were spurned
Causes a lot of heartache, sorrow and dismay.
Mother Earth has also learned from our mistakes,
She knows humanity cares too much for power
And not enough for woodlands and lakes,
Or the beauty of Nature in nooks and bowers.
May humanity awaken and do justice,
To Mother Nature, no more to deface,
The beauty which was gifted to us,
And may we do it with our saving grace.

Thanks you Phyllis and glad my work inspired this heartfelt plea to honor the natural world as we should. Let our words change how people perceive the world and be a catalyst for change. Kudos.
Thank you so much, Tony. I so agree with: “Let our words change how people perceive the world and be a catalyst for change.” Excellent ! Take care and thanks for the inspiration.
Yes indeed saving grace a catalyst for change. Poets words have changed many hearts and souls throughout the centuries, we won’t stop now. For that is what we do, inspire other by our words. We are a beacon of light to many in stormy weather. Beautifully penned Phyllis, Kudos indeed.
I thimk l many people need to read this and understand that we are Our own worst enemy .Some do not care to learn from their Mistakes, Some even enjoy running against the wall and smacking their face into It. If you don’t learn from your mistakes you are doomed to repeat them. Saving grace is something we need by the barrel. God help mother nature cause we are doing a bad job of it. Too bad there aren’t more people like you who actually connect with the natural world. Nice work Phyllis
Paul, thank you very much for you kind praise and wise comment. So glad you relate to the message in the poem. Take care.
