Acceptance
Acceptance
a defining moment in our lives
yet we are unaware
that it’s there
up ahead
waiting
and has been
right from the start
that moment
when we acknowledge
if only to ourselves
that some of our childhood dreams
will not be realised
we will not
go to that place
do that thing
be that person
it is not
defeat or compromise
but rather
a philosophical nod to reality
a reality
that we had no knowledge of
could not conceive of
when
with the exuberance of youth
we chartered our course
set our goals
and dreamed our dreams.
