Wishes (Full of Grace)

This time
when I come home
you will greet me with smiles and kisses and
tell me you missed me
even though I was
gone only three days this time.

And I will not get mad at you.
I will not get angry.
I will be happy with whatever comes our way.
I will be full of grace,
full of grace and calm.

The last time
that I came home to you
you greeted me with smiles and kisses and
told me you missed me
even though I was
gone only nine days that time.

But I was mad at you.
I was hurt and angry.
I was unhappy with the pain you'd brought my way.
I was just wanting grace,
wanting grace and calm.

The next time
that I came home
you were gone, and you left
everything there for me
even though I was
gone only two hours that time.

And I wasn't mad at you.
I was hurt, not angry.
I wanted happiness for you and me that day.
So I prayed for your grace,
for your grace and calm.

Your body was precious.
That's why it hurt me to know
you threw it away.
Your body was a gift given by
the Greatest Spirit
and you threw it away.

But I was not mad at you.
I was hurt and angry
that you had let tragedy and pain get in your way.
I still prayed for your grace,
for your grace and calm.

Our bodies are precious.
That's why it hurts me to see
anyone throw theirs away.
Our bodies are a gift given by
the Greatest Spirit.
Take care of it.

Then you will not be mad at you.
You will not be angry.
You will be happy with whatever comes your way.
You will be full of grace,
full of grace and calm.

This time
when I come home
you greet me with smiles and kisses that
I can't feel or see
because you
took your body away from me.

And I am not mad at you.
I will not be angry.
I will be happy with whatever comes my way.
I am cultivating grace,
creating grace, and
I will be full of grace,
full of grace, and
I am Grace,
full of grace and calm.
