The Gift of Grace by John Herlihy Doom and gloom Misery – despair When suddenly From nowhere Out of the blue There descends Extended feathers On wings of angels In perfumed mist A breath of spirit Invisible, breathless Unheard, untouched Only smelled and felt Hope made manifest The touch of blessing The gift of grace Kindness extended Favor unmerited Beauty without trace Biss upon the face Stardust evenly spread Into a lonely soul fed No longer discontent Blessing given, not lent. - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Tuesday 6 January 2026

ABSOLUTELY, YES! THAT MARVELOUS, MIRACULOUS, PRICELESS 'GIFT OF GRACE'...BY WHICH WE DAILY RECEIVE BLESSINGS WHICH WE DO NOT DERSERVE, OVER AND OVER. IMMENSELY ENJOYED, THANK YOU. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Amazing Grace. I love it when I smell the laundry drying in the dryer, the Mockingbird singing his heart out trying to woo a mate, or the smell of a neighbor's outdoor or indoor cooking that somehow even comes into my house from I don't know where. The fresh air vent?
