Success Is Successful Self-Acceptance-W

When I was a child though bright but always in fright Accepted whatever the people furled with fury or flurry Resulted in to know self –my strengths and weaknesses That gave me a chance to know what I am in reality. I accepted all challenges to my large family life Self-acceptance came from meeting challenges As a result of that, I went beyond all of them. Learnt, the greatest success is successful acceptance. One of my grandsons says I am like a fierce tiger But the fierceness is in my words and not deeds One of my daughter-in-laws says I am a volcano Bursting but beneficently and that too very rarely. I have never numbed myself in trials and tribulations Nor built mental walls to exclude pain from my life And have found peace not in denial, but in victory And never in life have been interested in stolen goods. ================================================ Ninth place winner in: Contest: Switch sponsored by John Heck
