Acceptance

Goldfinch60



Acceptance in life,

We must all have this.

Sometimes things go wrong,

Can we do anything about it?

No?

So move on.

Worrying about those things

That cannot be fixed

Only delays your life

Into that future

Which is there for you.

If things are hard,

Move on.

Accept the simple things

That will take you forward

And your life

Will progress.

But in all life

There is one thing

That must always be accepted,

Even in its many forms,

Always accept love,

Love for one another.

    Yep, you nailed it. That's what life's all about. It takes most of us quite a while to truly realise the truth of this (self included).

      Thanks d a, if we cannot accept things we will just worry forever, there is no need for that.

      Good write Gold.
      I worry about a thing I cannot do - sing, that is! But I've not moved on. I'm having lesson number 256987425 today! lol.

        Thanks Orchi - I would even accept your singing.

        without wishing to sound like an echo.. yes sir, you absolutely nailed it

        sadly, not everyone reaches the point of such a realisation

          Thanks Neville.

          Perhaps that realisation will come with experience.

            Angela here - Hi Uncle Andy - Thanks for JDs version of Duelling Banjos one of my fave Bluegrass Tunes ! Loved your Mantra *We must accept things as they are & move on - BUT - always hang on to LOVE* - AMEN. Like PAUL said *I know whatsoever state Im in - Im gonna be content* There are lots of things in life - I cant change - like the Colour of My Skin (same goes for Meghan !) so Im just proud to be Spanish and *move on* in the skin that Im in ! Thanks for sharing. Im kinda OLIVE by the way - its all the extra virgine Olive Oil MAMA cooks with !

            Blessings & Peace & Joy to You & Yours
