“God grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can,
And the Wisdom to know the difference”
Reinhold Niebuhr – “Serenity prayer” later adopted by Alcoholics Annonymous
God grant her,
All I can’t
And probably
Won’t be ever able
To provide
You are my
Witness
That I am willing
Strongly
And passionately
With all the might
Of a human love
You have taught me
On a bumpy roads
Of my life.
If only
She had chosen
To take it
But she can’t
And probably
Won’t be ever
Able to.
Just teach her
To go through
Everything in life
With that grain
Of Hope
You once granted me.
That kernel
Of your Being
In our hearts
Necessary to face
Inevitable
Tragedies
Of our
Existence
Let her find courage
And wisdom
To change
Everything
She needs to change
And accept the rest.
And for me
You have made me courageous
I am sometimes even wise
All I need
Is the acceptance
That if she wants
Me to fade away from her view
I will …
Like a spare handkerchief
In a back of drawer
Never needed
But always ready
To be found
If necessary
