To come to Self-Acceptance Thus to be "at home" with self, Is such a blessed Treasure One of great personal wealth. No longer to be wishing For anyone else to be, But glad for one's Uniqeness And feeling free to be ME! For years, it had escaped me And robbed me of Joy and Peace, Bound to live with a Stranger From which I oft' sought release. Because I didn't like me I caused most to shun me, too, Thus I lived a futile life Estranged, alone, askew. I did not see my Self-Worth Giv'n to me by God above, Because I did not love me, Then others I could not Love. 'Twas only when I opened My life to a Higher Power, And convinced of His Goodness Did rays of Hope on me show'r. I had to get past myself My negative thinking stunk, So that I might realize That my God does not make junk! I junked my life by Blindness 'Twas time I took out the Trash So I'd see the real Me Not as worthless tin, but Brass! As I acknowledged God's Power A Power I found within, That sadly had been lacking Anew, I began again. I find that Self-Acceptance Is based on finding God's Will, To live life to it's fullest I can, for my Life, He fills. My Life is not about me, But living unto His Praise, Self-Acceptance is a part Making the most of my days. Thank God, Who patiently waits For us to so realize, Things that we're seeking in life Are right before our eyes! Every Day's a Blessing And Gift-Wrapped from Above, Share it with another And Spread the Father's Love!!! May You come to Know His Best Blessing |

Self-acceptance has been one thing I have been blessed with. At 16 I already carry with me a great treasure. Belief in myself, courage in all i do, Strength to on another day, and the acceptance of one's self. Thank YOu My mind is like lightning |
