Acceptance

A Poem By Regina Hill

Acceptance means that you can find the serenity within to let go of the past with its mistakes and regrets, and move into the future with a new perspective, appreciating the opportunity to take a second chance.

Acceptance means you'll find security again when difficult times come into your life, and comfort to relieve any pain.

You'll find new dreams, fresh hopes, and forgiveness of the heart.

Acceptance does not mean that you will always be perfect. It simply means that you'll always overcome imperfection.

Acceptance is the road to peace - letting go of the worst, holding on to the best, and finding the hope inside that continues throughout life.

Acceptance is the heart's best defense, love's greatest asset, and the easiest way to keep on believing in yourself and others.

I'll Be There

Author Unknown

When no one is there for you

And you think no one cares

When the whole world walks out on you

And you think you're alone

I'll be there

When the one you care about the most

Could care less about you

When the one you gave your heart to

Throws it in your face

I'll be there

When the person you trusted

Betrays you

When the person you share all your memories with

Hurts you

I'll be there

When all you need is a friend

To listen to you whine

When all you need is someone

To catch your tears

I'll be there

When your heart hurts so bad

You can't even breathe

When you just want to curl up and die

I'll be there

When you start to cry

After hearing that sad song

When the tears just won't

Stop falling down

I'll be there

So you see

I'll be there until the end

This is a promise I can make

If you ever need me

Just give me a call and

I'll be there

Blood on the Sofa

-- Cheryl Walker

From Misker's Den

Faraway sirens signal the start

of questions 'til midnight, affairs of the heart.

What was the reason, what did he say?

What did you do to make him act that way?

How can I tell them I simply forgot

to wash his best shirt, or his tea was too hot.

When I can't understand, do I tell them the truth?

He accused me of sleeping around with no proof.

They ask, was he drinking, did he get drunk tonight,

does he take any drugs and how long was the fight?

I don't know if I answer, I don't care anymore.

I can see the red mark where my head hit the door.

I no longer feel the hot tears on my face,

My heart is consumed with fear and disgrace.

Again I say that this is the last time.

But there's blood on the sofa and I know that it's mine.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

___

When are you gonna come down

When are you going to land

I should have stayed on the farm

I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever

I didn't sign up with you

I'm not a present for your friends to open

This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plow

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then

I bet that'll shoot down your plane

It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics

To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement

There's plenty like me to be found

Mongrels who ain't got a penny

Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plow

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road
