Amazing Grace
by Joe CramerGrace came into my life with a bang
Two souls together, sitting on a beach.
She left with nary a whimper, hardly a cry.
And I did nothing to stop her, encourage her.
Sometimes I am certain that I lost
A true love in my life.
She cared for me, it's true, but how long
Would she had continued thus?
One day Grace was here, now she is
Forever gone. I am left with some sweet
Memories, and many others that are not so sweet.
Grace came with a bang. 10/17/2002 Posted on 12/11/2006

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 12/14/06 at 06:59 PM You lost Grace. There is a lot of word play here, as well as as wistfulness, and it starts and ends with a "bang". You use everything-- the concept of grace (which adds the element of enlightenment coming with a bang) the song allusion (I was lost...) and your own personal story about this, all very well bound into a potent poetic capsule... showing well "what's in a name"! |
