Poetry Break

I love poetry. I usually favor more of a darker genre, but I love the Serenity Prayer. I really became familiar with it and its message when my BF was having some issues a couple of years ago. It kind of became my mantra then, and i still break it out pretty often. It is reassuring to tell yourself that it is ok to accept things as they come, that you have the power to adapt. That things will work out in the end. I need to have this tattoed on my freakin forehead!

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
