A Little Poem About Grace

Someone on twitter sent out a prompt to use Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope is the thing with feathers" as a prompt, but to change the poem to something else: "_____is the thing with _____." I didn't quite follow instructions (which I didn't realize until later!) but at least I tried!
I loved the prompt and had fun trying to put some words to God's grace--it really is indescribable to me. If you give this prompt a try, please leave your poem in the comments, or send me an e-mail--I would love to see it!
Grace Is the thing that flows down the mountainside--
Bringing life and beauty to every flowering thing.
Grace is the thing that flows down the weathered cheek--
Bringing life and healing to a prodigal child.
Grace is the thing that flows down His face, Down His side--
Bringing life to my dry heart and healing to my soul.
