nice short commentary about grace and the power of grace a gift from the divine that indeed brings us peace. Although I am not a Christian I can appreciate the message.

Hello, Joan,

You know I love short poems rich in imagery and yours is beautiful. I enjoy the lanterns form.

Clever wording thought provoking. Grace is a precious gift.

I enjoyed this succinct verse.
I am unfamiliar with this poetry style, but I responded in a positive way.
The use of the word "Grace," on the first line, is then described through the following lines, is very creative and clever.
At least that is my interpretation.
Poetry at its best causes the reader provocative thought.
Thank you for sharing.

The author's words are just beautiful and so true. I found this short
poem has the perfect words. I thought about how love and peace are
the most important to me. I am just not okay with out them. The
poem flows and connects well. The poem says it all for me! Thank you!

Grace can be given by anyone and still bring peace. Doesn't need to be divinely given.
I offer grace to my friends and those who care for me. I offer peace when there seem no other means but to end the struggle.
Thanks for offering one of many choices to offer grace and peace.

    Thanks, Jesse, for the review. You may be right. I though God gives His grace to someone to act kindly to others so give them Grace. It is a chain reaction.

    It may be a chain reaction, but it perpetuates in us all.

Grace: Could very well be but I've scanned the aisles of Walmart, and unless it's misplaced I cannot find evidence on any face therein that it's a part of their corporate moniker.

Fine sentiments, Joan, and I share your perspective.
In passing, you might consider capitalizing "peace" as every other line begins with a capital letter.

Thank you for sharing!
