Acceptance
February 25, 2014
It is said
Life seems wonderful
Through rose tinted glasses
Where there should be grasses
We often see thorns
Sometimes we forget
Beauty also lies in weeds
Instead of growing stones
We must grow seeds
Life is not about hatred
Or holding silly grudges
Roses are not only pretty
Sweetness lies in rotten leaves too
They say forgiveness is a virtue, we must accept
Our friends and foes with equal respect
So our glasses need not be rose tinted
Life is rosy and colorful
Without any glasses
What we need is to see
The roses residing within
The thorny weeds….
