Tears in the Backyard

An epiphany moment,
tears in the backyard
for his moment,
opening his heart
to the ever-present grace
of our living, loving God
A testimony, a witness
to the power of fellowship,
a community of believers
wrapping their arms around him,
being God’s hands, in that moment
being Christ for him
even when there is pain,
before we are ready
to accept that grace
being a means of grace for him
leading him home
into the loving arms
of our Savior and King
