GRACE
Grace came in the morning.
Northwest's chosen child.
Born with yellow Dandelions
sprouting free and wild.
They brought her into a brand new world
on a day in early spring.
Blessed by ocean's soothing roar
and snow-capped mountain rings.
A child amid the evergreens.
God's innately favored gift.
A life intent on all that spins in sand's bewildering shift.
