A Bit of Grit

A Bit of Grit

A mighty force blows within
Bestows within
A Gift

Within this Gift a bit of grit
From which to build the
Gift of Life

A sprinkling of laughter, a thin
Veil of tears, a blanket of Love,
The music one hears, our hopes,
Our dreams, our fears – the
Ones we hold dear.

Layer upon layer does gradually
Build.

A power of reckoning from which
One can will…That Love and
Peace and Joy to Abide

All from the Gift of the grit inside.

A poem by Roseanna Walters, Columban Associate
