Accepting

I too had sat, Wishing that an 'is'... Wasn't. And living through those experiences... That came to stay in my head, And wouldn't from me leave! I too had sat, Wishing that an 'is'... Wasn't. And I could close my eyes, With a squeeziing out... Of anything unpleasant! I too had sat, Wishing that an 'is'... Wasn't. With a beginning again, Of an 'is'... Meant. And forever I would live... A life free of unexpected grief and sorrow. And yet... Those yesterdays came and went. Leaving me to learn and grow... Accepting some things I just could not reject! And not be afraid to do... The accepting. Even if I wept or was swept up in a happiness, In the doing of it.
