Bonnie Collins - Acceptance

Listening to the birds a chatter and the
mother's feverishly trying to teach the
young how to eat, with each little
move she made, the young would
mock till they got it right

Why can't life be this simple, why
must complications always enter
when we are trying our best to do
what we feel is right

Scattering about as furriously as
the mother squirel was showing
her young to run fast from danger,
following her command up the tree
they ran

Why cant we understand when danger
is about to harm us for a lifetime, why
is it so difficult to decipher right from
wrong

I dont think we will ever know the
mysterious ways of life, we will
only except what is given to us
as the bird, and the squirrel, do
not ask, just accept........
