Acceptance. Poem by Tor Magnor Solvang

The sun shines now, though clouds may hide,
And rain has fallen, deep inside.
Accept the sky, both grey and blue,
And know the change will see you through.

See yourself, with gentle eyes,
The stumbles, falls, and sweet surprise.
Forgive the flaws, the lines you see,
For perfect beauty cannot be.

The folks around, with quirks and grace,
Each carries burdens in this place.
Let kindness bloom, a gentle seed,
Accept their journey, and their need.

This humble start, a quiet ground,
Where honest strength can then be found.
No bitter blame, no reason why,
Just open heart, beneath the sky.

Don't let acceptance turn to rest,
A lazy bird within its nest.
But rise and soar, with wings so bright,
Toward a future filled with light.

Each day begin, with open mind,
To leave old, weary thoughts behind.
Acceptance first, then courage true,
A healthier, happier, hopeful you.
