365 Days of Grace

365 days, a canvas wide and vast,  

In its embrace, precious moments cast.  

A journey through time, a dance, a song,  

Reflecting on all that's come and gone.


In God's gentle hands, I found my way,  

Through the hurdles of each night and day.  

Dissertation trials, a mountain steep,  

In academia's waters, oh so deep.


Accommodations sought, a roof, a shelter,  

In life's stormy seas, a calming helter.  

Internship quests, paths unknown,  

God's guiding light brilliantly shown.


Bills piling high, like autumn leaves,  

Met with divine ease, as faith interweaves.  

Supportive friends, a lover's embrace,  

In their warmth, I found my place.


Education, a journey, not just a goal,  

Enriched by activities that fed my soul.  

Extracurricular paths, broad and new,  

Adding colors to the academic hue.


Then home, a haven, where hearts reside,  

Back to family, with arms open wide.  

Ending the year with loved ones near,  

Grateful whispers, the universe hears.


365 days, a story told,  

A blend of warmth, adventures bold.  

In each moment, grace was found,  

In life’s symphony, a perfect sound.


For every challenge, every test,  

I've emerged stronger, feeling blessed.  

365 days of growth and grace,  

In God's love, I've found my place.
