Fear

the unfamiliar waits
behind each unopened door
fear that is crippling
never knowing what's in store

Courage

Taking a deep breath (hold it in!)
just before I turn the key
anticipating the gift that waits
prepared and eager to see...

Acceptance

Bright lights illuminate my soul
A magnificant and glorious discovery!
There is no greater gift
Then the gift that is just me.

Wow! This is really a wonderful poem! I absolutely love the way you go from fear to courage to the acceptence (and awareness) of yourself in this last stanza..

Bright lights illuminate my soul
A magnificant and glorious discovery!
There is no greater gift
Then the gift that is just me.

Thank YOU for this gift of illumination and awareness of a greater truth. I needed the reminder.
