Acceptance... that is one thing I always have to work on doing. I struggle with acceptance, especially when it comes to change. Me and change do not go well together. It is funny how when everything goes my way I do not have a problem with change... it's only when the unexpected (as in not what I planned) happens that I have trouble accepting what God has sent my way... Anyway, I found this poem, and felt like sharing.
Acceptance by Robert FrostWhen the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud
And goes down burning into the gulf below,
No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud
At what has happened. Birds, at least must know
It is the change to darkness in the sky.
Murmuring something quiet in her breast,
One bird begins to close a faded eye;
Or overtaken too far from his nest,
Hurrying low above the grove, some waif
Swoops just in time to his remembered tree.
At most he thinks or twitters softly, 'Safe!
Now let the night be dark for all of me.
Let the night bee too dark for me to see
Into the future. Let what will be, be.'

Wow...I feel that way too sometimes..sometimes when I get really worried and need to somehow just close my eyes and let God's Will be what it is.
I love Robert Frost. He's the greatest. This poem reminds of his other work called "Reluctance." I love his thoughtful, pensive commentary on life. It's almost chilling how it brings you right into that state of mind. Thanks for sharing. Really awesome poem!
