Acceptance is the Greatest Gift



To understand without judgment
Is the hardest art of all.

Stop being hero savior
Catching others as they fall.

Denying someone’s honesty
Is to be a pushy bitch.

To think that you can heal their wounds
Means you want to be a witch.

I am chastened now and quiet,
Hosing down my own damned street.

Asking you for the same regard
When in life we chance to meet.
