Notes About The Poem

"BELOVED, LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER, FOR LOVE IS OF GOD AND EVERYONE THAT LOVETH IS BORN OF GOD AND KNOWETH GOD. HE THAT LOVETH NOT KNOWETH NOT GOD FOR GOD IS LOVE."                                                                                                                                                        1John 4:7-8

Accept Me As I Am

I'm just like you, I really am,
I'm really not so odd.
I have my ways, I guess that's true,
And for that I thank my God;

For we all have certain attributes,
That differ from the rest;
Ways and habits we have formed,
That oft times aren't the best;

But that's what makes us who we are,
And sets us each apart,
As separate individuals,
But still with soul and heart.

I may not think or talk like you,
Opinions often differ,
But after all is said and done,
I am still your sister.

Accept me just the way I am,
As God meant me to be,
As I accept the way you are,
For God loves you and me.

Victor Buhagiar February 16, 2021 at 8:21 AM One must accept another person as he is. If you don't like him, find another friend. ~~ Judy Ball February 16, 2021 at 1:09 PM Thanks bunches Victor. God Bless, JB

Rama Balasubramanian February 16, 2021 at 3:28 AM You used the word sister. That means you are addressing all around you. We seldom accept people as they are especially those staying with us. Our ego at play. But everyone is what he is because God made him that way. Can we change ourselves.? I have been telling my son to control his anger since he was small. Now he is 14. But he just can't do it. Excellent write. God bless Rama Judy Ball February 16, 2021 at 3:55 AM Thank you so much Rama. Sometimes when we are going through puberty it is hard for us to learn to control our temper but thiis is the time when it is most important. He must learn there is a price to be paid for everything we say or do. God Bless my friend. JB
