Accepting
Accepting lists
with inconsistency
My life a messy
Tapestry
Accepting life
with uncharacteristic zeal
As golden sunlight
Pours over corncob field
Accepting lies
with downcast looks
My days on endless
Tenterhooks
Accepting lifts
with open palms
Of calloused lines
Trailing sunken arms
Accepting love
with pale parched lips
Weather-beaten dry
Longing for dew drips
Accepting lobs
with barely-clenched fists
White-knuckled bruised
Desperately coming to grips
Accepting loss
with nary a care
Knowing someday soon
I’ll see You up There!
