Notes About The Poem

How one may view things in life that they can not change but have the awareness of their existance in life without allowing it to be a burden.

Conviction

As a part of life, 
there are things  
You may learn to accept without understanding,  
and understand without accepting.  
They exist, woven into the fabric of life.  

You made peace with their presence,  
whether through acceptance or comprehension.  
But not through conviction.  

For conviction demands both:  
acceptances and to understanding,
not as a compromise,  
but as absolutes.
