Serenity Poem

“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.” Lately, things have been rough, And my own advice just isn’t enough So somebody, anybody, whoever’s watching over me, Would you please just grant me the serenity, To accept what I cannot change, Because page after page my story is filled with rage And eternal pain that I cannot contain. Then please give me the courage to, Change the things I can, and so desperately wish to. Because with the pen in my hands, I want to be the foundation of my own life’s plans, Of simplicity beauty… things that are all new to me. But please stay true to me, And place wisdom upon thee, To know the difference between whom I once was and who I can be. To know my future from my past, So I can discover at last, That today is a gift ….which is exactly why they call it the present. From a mortal to a God, or whoever’s watching over me, I ask of only three things from He, Wisdom, courage, and serenity… Please.
