Grace the fences with graffiti

Grace the fences with graffiti
take your frightened children home,
shield us from the street-wise bullies, hear us,
keep us safe from harm.

While they harass and upset us
we are watching for your face;
looking out beyond the garbage
to your smile that signals grace.

Verse 3 follows
