There was a time I hid quietly, fearfully, 
unsure if I was truly worthy of love.
In the stillness, my feet were frozen,
my heart tucked away in shadow. 
But then a voice called my name,
tender, healing, full of grace.
 
"Beautiful you are clothed in grace,
emerging in elegance. 
Will you let Me love you?"
 
In that moment, something within me opened.
I no longer feared. I no longer hid.
As I stepped toward the One who loved me whole,
my feet began to dance, and my heart at last embraced. 
I emerged. Radiant, Known. Loved.
Elegance, reborn.
