Poem Title:
Poem
Acknowledgement of God is step number one. Knowing oneself, strength and weakness won. Inspection by the soul of thoughts concealed, A truthful inward view at last, revealed. Acceptance is a skill that improves one’s life. Whether for yourself or someone with strife, Willingly, outwardly, roaming through time. Feeling all the while peaceful and sublime. Self-acceptance starts with introspections. Frequent inward looks bring revelations. The, man that understands true desires Makes decisions well, as life transpires. When willpower rules, happiness happens. Faces smile and become joy with actions. Thoughts of a man with fears unfettered. Seeking perfection transforms, self-bettered. Social acceptance travels many steep slopes. There are external factors, members’ scope. Etiquette, bylaws, molds expectations. Approval depends on regulations. Motorcycle gangs roam from land to land. Live rough and tough while together they stand. A code of acceptance in minds recessed. Expectations implied are not confessed. Boy Scouts acceptance on the other hand, Living the oath and laws of the land. Behavior rules have been tested and tried. Conditional and expressed, not implied. Accepting losses of people and things. Sounds in the heart with a familiar ring – Sudden losses bring emotional storms. Death, divorce, or broken hearts cause reforms. Blind acceptance belongs on a dark shelf. For man must always be true to himself. Study, evaluate then, accept truths. Fully accepting humble not aloof!
