Acceptance

Acceptance 

Reality
Of who i am
Who you expect me to be
accept me to be
What lines and boxes, Ts and Is
must i cross and dot, or not
Fit in, conform to...
Who?
Who do you want me to be? because I am me.
This package is unique and maybe not entirely pleasing...
This personality has its quirks and beauty
This past has its broken places in process,
Healing
Growing
Can you accept me?
Welcome me and all of who I am?
Include and embrace with love and grace
and I will do the same to you.
We are on a journey,
changing and growing.
We cannot conform,
we must let the creator create
In my embrace of you, i heal a little bit more,
and in your embrace of me you heal as well.
May our lives reflect our creator's love for us.

"For while we were yet sinners, Christ laid down his life for us" (Romans 5:8)
