Acceptance

Acceptance

Unique and complicated as the humans we are.

To accept things for how they are, 

people for who they are and 

remember we did it.

To Accept

Is to show that However it turns out to be, is ok.

Is to show those around us that they can be who they are, no matter what.

to remind ourselves we Accept 

Things accepted will turn out to make us better people.

Thinking is not acceptance, as we may not like it, or agree with it, or know that is different,

we just accept it as it is, and keep what we think to ourselves.

So little ACCEPTANCE goes a long way.

LONG AGO

I want to write of a time long ago when the crops were harvested by hand,

and the washing was done on wash day.  The silver was polished on polish day, and 

ironing done on its day too.  When the chore list was so long that it was impossible

to get it done and raise their children too.

A time Long Ago, we forget so easily.  When just because a human was another color

they were slaves to others.

A time not Long Ago, somewhere near by, where the human is any race and are 

still slaves to others.

Not so Long Ago.

smile instead

when you know everything, and repeat yourself

over and over again, I cringe

when you say you don't know, and you act like you do

over and over again, I get angry

when you are insistant on being right

I let you, because it is easier for me

but you are not right, which leaves me in turmoil.

And sad....

so I smile instead.
