Acceptance.

I accept the bad forces, as well as the good.

I accept the past as a lesson.

I accept my life as totally mine.

I accept the absolute beauty of my children.

I accept my self as a man, smiling in ease.

I accept the world as a hard place.

I accept diversions create problems.

I accept problems as temporary.

I accept new tomorrows as time passes.

I accept no sign of you.

I accept another period at alone.

I accept smaller pleasures as my lot.

I accept new love waits.

I accept hurt accompanies strength.

I accept god for we walk together.
