Acceptance
I know I should be grateful
And happy with my lot
I know I should be satisfied
And content with what I’ve got
I know I shouldn’t grumble
And wish that there was more
I know that what I’m missing
Won’t come knocking at my door
I accept that I am healthy
I accept I’ve hearth and home
I accept what life throws at me
I accept and do not moan
Sometimes I feel disheartened
When my back’s against the wall
I’ll accept but I don’t like it
I’m only human after all

Thanks - there are often many things we simply can't change so better to accept and move on than get frustrated.

Pro Recognizing our limitations is smart for then we can understand what our options are. xxx

Exactly - I'm quite a realist despite my romantic leanings

Some more than others I suspect
They get better and better [ the poems I mean ]. David.

Thank you
Well tis true that they do. More life experience perhaps and more insight ? David.

Older and wiser perhaps??
Like me battered into shape perhaps; the rough edges worn off ! David.
PS Do you know where on a typical uk PC the euro symbol is ?
£ and $ I have but euros no where obvious. [ perhaps in a font called special characters but only one horizontal cross piece not two in that version !}

On my UK laptop it's on the key with $ and 4 but you have to use control+alt to make it. Try doing control+alt+4 and see if that works.
M, thanks very much indeed. You are right and it works. My concept was exchange rate with £,$,€ and Yen at 4 corners of a cross. I think yen is in special characters selection box !
Many thanks David.

Pro sort of where I am at the moment...not sure though I can be fully accepting of where I am at the moment, even though I've everything I need...just don't have that much to do...LOL...Good poem, Marian...GBHs...XXX
la_spice
I understand exactly I feel there's got to be more for me but feel guilty that I'm not content with what I have.
jenray
Pro I don't think you should feel guilty about wanting to fulfil the potential you know you have inside you...it's discovering which way to express it that currently I'm finding a problem, and, by the sound of it, so are you... Deep sighs...LOL...the search goes on... Have a relaxed evening, Marian... GBHs...XXX
