 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

Acceptance…To This Life We Lead!


We have to accept changes taking place,
In life's difficulties; I have come to know,
Nothing ever stays the same,
Even if we want it to be so!

I have no regrets in my life at all,
For all that I am this day,
Was brought about through the happenings,
That changes us and moulds us this way!

So if I regret and alter one thing,
Then I am not who and what I am this day!
And I don't want anything different in life,
For I am more than happy with my life today!

Everything happens for a reason,
And at times we just can't see,
Or even comprehend just why,
These things happen to you and to me!

For the reason for the trials of life,
Is just to show us the way,
And to know what path we're going down,
And that path is different every day!

I have had more than my share of sadness,
And I live with insurmountable pain,
That's just the way my life is;
It's just as well everyone's life isn't the same!

And for my trials of plenty,
I have to tell this and tell it true!
I would not change one single thing,
It's something I just would never do!

Why?

Because all my life, every single day,
Things that have come to pass,
Have made me into the person I am!
And I think, well, I think I'm first class!

For I am as honest as God made me true,
And there but for the grace of God go I…
He made me what I am this day,
And He gave me all the tears I cry.

But He also gave me happiness,
And though life's encumbered in such pain,
Still and all I wouldn't alter a thing,
For I want to stay just the same!

I like the way I am you know!
And I deal with my life's pain as I do,
And though I wouldn't change a thing,
I wouldn't wish my life on you!

For just because I can deal with it!
And I get through every day, albeit it's tough!
It's what's made me the way I am,
And that's helped me get through the rough!

And through the journeys of my life,
I have walked some walks so bad!
But I have also walked some great ones,
Some happy, and sometimes sad!

But my walks are what made me who I am!
And those walks gave me the strength I need!
To fight every day, for in this life to stay,
And to support me when my heart will bleed!

Acceptance I have found, for me,
Is what makes it easier to bear!
So I take it day by day, that way I stay,
The way I am, with a heart that will care!

You see we are all the same but different!
And it's all about acceptance, well, for me!
For if I fought against the happenings in my life,
Then tell me, just who would I be?

Cos I wouldn't be me!!!

Would I?
