    Acceptance

    As I acknowledge my role
    As your child, I build my
    Self-esteem in You.

    When I realize the
    Sheer ignorance of my existence,
    I create my identity in You.

    I do not know You like
    I thought I did-
    I always thought I could
    Hold my life together, until
    It all fell apart.

    I always thought that
    I knew my own heart...
    What a cheap substition
    In illusions and lies.
    Swallow them whole on
    A silver platter and still,
    Never be full or satisfied.

    As I ascertain the value
    Of Patience and Faith,
    I become much stronger.
    As I strip away the pride
    Lingering inside of my heart,
    I become even wiser.

    As I accept all of You,
    I become a better Me.

    Humility is the beginning of wisdom. This poem seeps humility and dawning awakening from it's poetic pores. Well done..........E

    I adore this poem, it's similar to the one I just wrote , it rings of realization , a spiritual awakening ... courageous to speak of your Creator

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
