I believe this poem was perfectly worded, Grace can mean many things for different people but in this poem it brought all those ideas into one and gave an amazing example what it is to love yourself and be graceful with those around you

There are several lines that speak so loudly to me. "To love and appreciate, without jealousy, cowardly possessiveness, or controlling anger.", "To set boundaries without crossing boundaries." The author really speaks to you about life in deep simple meanings. It was a great read this morning. Really like this poem.

I liked the poem mainly because of the simple language yet powerful impact. This poem has brought to light a very thin line that exists between grace and coarseness. My favourite line would be "To be kind, but not dishonest." It is truly liberating to be honest and it was contenting to be assured that one could be kind and honest at the same time.

Wow I really like the creativity of words that play off each other. It made you think. That last sentence tho that was what tied it all together. Very profound statement that's true!!!!

Grace is the ability to forgive yourself so that you will be able to forgive others, to be content with what you have and know that you can control yourself not to want things you have no control over.

I like it! It seems to all tie together nicely with the clashing components life likes to hold.

I like it! It all ties together nicely with the clashing personalities of life that the world seems to like holding on to.

I believe everyone should read this poem. You managed to fully address people's reality, in a beautiful, poetic way. A beautiful poem that deserves to be read and enjoyed, for its depth, sincerity and beauty.I believe everyone should read this poem.

This poem is about someone who has seen the power of grace and understand it better. Got to realize that you have to always choose yourself first by setting boundaries and doing you all the time and you'll get a piece of mind.

Satisfying poem and each line can be understood in many ways but "To be brave, but not fearless" hits hard for me

I think this poem speaks truth about how life can be a true balance if we know how to look at and appreciate what we have. We must learn to balance everything in our lives without losing sight of the big picture.
