Acceptance means that you

Can find the serenity within

To let go of the past

With it's mistakes and regrets

Move into the future

With a new perspective

And appreciate 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 hearts best defense

Loves greatest asset

And the easiest way

To keep beleiving

In yourself and others.

And God?

Grant us the Serenity

To accept the things we cannot change

The Courage to change the things we can

And the Wisdom to know the difference.
