ACCEPTANCE

Thou shalt not want
I didn't understand
I am afraid I got
the context all wrong.

When we want....
we set ourselves up
to plan and expect
to achieve alone.

But when we believe
we open the door
for all of his grace.

I thought it was
meant as a promise
but i am starting
to think it is meant
more as a commandment.

For our hearts safety
surely for goodness and
mercy.  One must believe.

Planned dissapointments
are damaging to the temple
acceptance and open heartedness
are a much better way to live.
