There, but for Grace, go I
by
Dr. Mark Winegar
I saw a man today
carrying everything he owned
along highway I-29
in the brisk wind
of a Dakota winter day.
And I thought to myself,
"There, but for Grace, go I."
I saw a young girl tonight
She was crying
as she stood in a chilly rain.
Three months pregnant
and alone in the night.
No one to turn to.
No man to claim.
And I thought to myself,
"There, but for Grace, go I."
