"Grace in the Light"
In the depths, Grace fell so fast,
Chasing shadows from her past.
Lost in pain, she found her chains,
Her spirit caught in silent strains,
And hope seemed dim, her light constrained.
Her heart grew cold, her world grew small,
She felt the darkness' endless call.
With weary eyes and dreams undone,
She faced each day, a setting sun,
A battle fought but never won.
But in the shadows, hope emerged,
A spark of light, a call that surged.
To rehab’s door, she found her way,
In the darkest night, a glimpse of day,
A place to heal, a place to stay.
With hands that reached, and voices kind,
She found a path, a peace of mind.
Each step she took, she broke a wall,
She faced her fears, no longer small,
And through her pain, she learned to call.
Today she walks beneath the sun,
Her battles faced, her journey done.
In every step, a testament,
To strength and grace, to love’s ascent,
A soul reborn, a life well-spent.
