Acceptance.

Why is it so hard for me to let go

of things beyond my control?

Instead  I keep fighting the losses

and end up hurting my soul. 

 

I’ve had to struggle just to survive

each day that passes me by,

and I can’t seem to stop 

asking the question, of “why?”

 

Most of the reasons are unknown

and I’m spinning my wheels in vain.

To love myself, I must let go 

of  unnecessary pain.

 

I must accept things happen in life,

and give them to God and let go.

That involves trusting another

and receiving grace, as the winds blow.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is not easy

at any age we try,

for we often carry with us

harsh feelings til we die.

 

Found on 2-3-16. Facebook Timeline. Sojourners Path.

It takes a little patience,

and it takes a hurting heart

that wants to reconcile

what tears you both apart.

 

Is the person who hurt you,

important in your life?

What do you gain or lose

by keeping up the strife?

 

It takes an honest soul

willing to look inside

and own part of the blame,

while swallowing one’s pride.

 

There must be restitution

and a need to apologize,

a mindset toward acceptance

and a want to compromise.

 

We all need forgiveness,

to feel peace within;

Even God will forgive us

when we stumble and sin.

 

If God who is Holy

can accept us when we fall,

why should we hesitate

to tear down a wall?

There is little in this world

That can touch the soul, 

Like someone accepting us

And making us feel whole.

 

There is no place on earth 

Where we would rather be,

Then with one who walks with us

On the road to Calvary.

 

It is rare to find someone,

Who shares our hopes and fears,

and offers to stay with us and

wipes away our tears.

 

For deep inside our heart,

We treasure a safe place,

Where we can go for nourishment,

And peace we can’t erase.

The Truth About Love.

When you have too much love,

And you have too much hope,

You can end up battered,

And find you can’t cope.

 

Found on Pinterest on 4-6-17. My Own Little WorlDm. ff.com/worldk2.

When evil is winning

And good’s tossed aside,

Your soul trembles

From tears left inside.

 

When you search for answers

That you cannot find,

Try looking in side you.

They lay in your mind.

 

You’ve fought a great battle

Over the years.

You have to accept how

To live with your tears.

 

You have a kind spirit,

You believe in the good.

Even when hurting,

You say a good word.

 

When you feel disappointed,

Your heart breaks in two.

The pain ends up taking

A big piece of you.

 

But Love can feel great,

And giving brings pleasure.

Yet, Love can bring sorrow,

And pain beyond measure.

Follow me, over the rainbow

And the mountains high.

Follow me, over the ocean.

We’ll soar in the bluest sky.

 

Burrow deep in the soil,

Where precious crystals grow.

We’ll harvest the finest gems

That can be found below.

 

Bring our hands together

To create a peaceful earth,

And celebrate a new start

Where every one has worth.

 

Unified we can conquer

All the perils of the past,

And find new joy in striving

For love that will last.

Darkness falls upon our Country

Like a never-ending blight.

We are struggling to hold on to

Remnants of God’s blessed light.

 

We are children in a forest

Who have lost our way back

To the place of love and comfort.

It is trust that we lack.

 

We must up-root what is evil                     

Found on Pinterest on 7-8-17. A.D. Williams. HIGHER PERSPECTIVE. Facebook.com.

From our lives and our hearts,

And not give in to hatred

That will tear us apart.

 

We must speak when justice wavers;

Remove hatred from our souls;

Dare to love those who are different;

And make acceptance our goal.

 

It is only when God’s values

Match the actions that we do,

That we’ll find a way to heal

The damage done to me and you.

 

Let us rise to meet the challenge

Before us as we turn

Toward the light and send the message:

Love is something we can learn.

 

Gather up your acts of courage,

Say the words we need to hear:

Faith and hope will get us through this

And restore what we hold dear.

Yu/stan/kema.

Lord of Love and glorious Light,                           

Found on Pinterest on 5-24-17. Bob Berran. godisreal.today.

Please stay with me through the night.

Help me face the morning bright

And give me strength to do what’s right.

 

When I’ve lost all hope inside,                              

And I choke on wounded pride,

I’ll soon accept what’s been denied:

Loss of friends and dreams that died.

 

Be with me as my heart weeps

LDS artists, Greg Olsen, Del Parson on Pinterest on 5-24-17. Life Reflection. edlann.hubpages.com article.

While the night-time slowly creeps.

Pull me from a hole that’s deep.

I pray today my soul You’ll keep.

 

Take my hand and lift me high,                        

So that I can touch the sky.

Hold me gently as I cry,

As I tell the world good-bye.

Yu/stan/kema.

Life Is Full Of Good Things And Bad Things.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly people try to make every thing alright when someone is feeling sad, irritated, or some other negative emotion. We want to  make him/her laugh, or we say, ” Don’t be mad,” or “Think positive thoughts.”  What the person really wants to hear is: ” I’m sorry today has been a tough day for you. Go ahead and cry.”

We want our feelings to be validated by others. We want to be able to be human and have others accept us on our good  days and on our bad days. People do not want to be judged                            by others.  They want to be understood. They need acceptance  and compassion. They need someone to hold their hand or give  them a hug.

The next time someone you know is having a hard day, bite  your tongue, validate their feelings, and try to accept them  just where they are. They will love you for it.

          BEFORE.

Before I brand a brother

With envy or with shame,

I’ll whisper to my heart,

“He comes the road I came.”

 

If any sue for pity,

Though friend he be or foe,

I’ll whisper to my soul,

“He goes the road I go.”

    FAIRNESS.

Everyone deserves

Found on 1-19-16 on LessonsLearnedInLife.

Found on 1-19-16 on LessonsLearnedInLife.

Tender, loving care.

No matter the age,

And others to be fair.

 

Everyone needs

To be listened to,

To receive feedback,

On the things they do.

 

Everyone craves

Time to heal and grow,

Acceptance within,

More than others know.

 

Everyone hopes

For others to be kind,

To overlook mistakes

Made with the mind.

 

Everyone cries

When feelings get hurt,

When hearts turn away,

And people are curt.

 

Everyone knows

Love grows best

When trust resides

Deep within the breast.

Everyone believes

One day they will stand

United and strong,

Safe in God’s hand.
