Love and Acceptance....


LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE

Maybe some have always known it
Maybe others have figured it out
It took me a long time to do it
But that's what this poem's about

The grass is always greener
beyond the hills where it “Lies”
The sky can never be “blue”
Like the the “blue” in someones “eyes”

Success isn't measured by failure
When a measure .. it shouldn't be
Yet if measuring oneself is a failure
Then failure is all there can be

Beauty is only a comparison
By the have's and the have not's
But if beauty is only a comparison
Then beauty you haven't got

Intelligence measured by I.Q.
Is just numbers in your head
But common sense measures what you do
It's “smarts” tells where you are led.

The deception of perception
Between reality and fantasy
If you don't need what you already have
You'll never be..... what you need to be

So when you think about what “should” be
Or what you'd like to be
When you think about what “could” be
And who you want to be

Love and accept yourself, to get it all.
You don't have to go very far
For all... is at your fingertips
IF YOU JUST... BE WHO YOU ARE
