Acceptance

Acceptance of life— The hassles and strife, With moments of mirth; No utopia on earth. Acceptance of self— In sickness and health, With humanly flaws; Just because. Acceptance of others— As imperfect sisters and brothers, From birth and past prime; Fallibility membership—A lifetime. (submitted for contest "Your Best Poem #2" on 07/24/15)

Jennifer, I hear your story, after reading some of your poems. What you say and feel have been reflected throughout the history of poetry. it is good hat you find the creative energy to clearly convey this reality to others who need to hear it. I hope that when you leave the valley and head towards the summit you will write about that as well. Barbara
