I’m a bit apprehensive this morning. I want to write a brilliant poem, still my words don’t always come out just right. So I invite acceptance to sit down with me. Acceptance is a gracious guest, always welcome, with a standing invitation. Like me, I hope you’ll come to realize, acceptance is what makes choice possible. I accept this may not be the best poem I’ve written. My simple surrender allows the words to flow. Here on the page is my heart - my love for all of you.
