Acceptance
Learn the dance.
It opens opportunities
If you can learn the dance
Two steps forward, none backward
You’re doing the acceptance
Conjoined with liberation
An affiliate of freedom
Unhindered undertakings
Pride turned into wisdom
Walk the walk and talk the talk
No need for limitations
Go with the flow, and you will know
There are no more frustrations
A state of sweet surrender
With nothing left to prove
Left to my best intentions
A chance for a new move
Caution out the window
Thrown to the breeze
The time to up and travel
Across the seven seas
Free of inhibitions
I now know who I am
Ejected from the agony
Gentle as a lamb
Acceptance is the opening
A way to live in peace
To end the search forever
For the Golden Fleece
Let’s fly away together
And leave the past behind
Acceptance is the answer
Far from the daily grind.
