My Christmas Gift 2022
was one I didn't expect
Though I've prayed for it often 
I assumed the Universe would neglect

I've preached Radical Acceptance
And truly thought I achieved said practice
As days continued I realize I didn't 
fully execute and attack this

But This Christmas I rose with a 
seemingly more open heart
Because not only have I stopped calling the wrong people family, 
But I actually finally see my lack of family 
as the source of my Lion Heart

It is a strength now 
I am grateful for the chapter in which you are apart
I release the fear of being alone homeless, without
I will always have people around- its truly no way out
In this era of disconnection
there is always a "desire" for connection
sooooo.... I have no reason to fear
God is Here
Gu is Here.

So with that I unwrapped why I begged for family 
& now 've loved myself into a more peaceful perspective
I love my Gift!
True Radical Acceptance! 
I did long and pray for this- God has delivered
No tree necessary (well, not the ones in the living room lol)

My family is in the galaxy helping on other planets like I'm doing too
Some are playing human here on earth too
And I truly believe me no longer desiring for the unworthy to be my family will get me to reach my REAL family. 

The family you come from is important, but the family you create is 
PRIORITY - never let the first destroy the latter
I will never again desire the traits of my neighbor as family
I will never desire the traits of my toxic family
I desire Love- what's real- 
I desire the traits in ME
The ones I know come from G-O-D
Not spiritual escapists who only love you when they have their D-R-U-G

My gift this year is Life-changing
No more asking why... the answer is Because! 
Because - you're worth it
This gift truly came to save me like an Eagle's Swoop
And I honestly couldn't have done it without my distant loving creative family
Thank you to the ones I've gained here on Poetry Soup. 

Big Love

Very excited you are filled with true peace,joy and love not found from mankind but God, Take time to embrace this , great scriptures here for you, He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Matthew 12:48-50
