acceptance
we start all over
every morning we wake up
we let go
all things we had
the day before
things we lullabied about
all night to give us
a decent rest
help heal our soul
for the next moment
the next breath we take
from our faith we know
we believe
is a healing taken in
we wake up
we smile
and we repeat
a new day
a new set of things
different circumstances
familiar to a routine
to endure
again
take the punches
roll
accept the pain
smile
yes the bruises are there
purple red and blue
we cope with
we pinch ourselves
alive we are
spirits soar
we accept
we move on
enliven
we repeat
we have faith
we believe
the sun is always there
behind a dark cloudy day
and we carry on
we accept our destiny
