Receiver’s Acceptance



When God grants us a gift,
our task is not to wonder.
It’s up to us, to just accept.
Giver’s reason, not to ponder.

When God smiles down on us
filling up our empty spaces.
It’s up to us, to just accept
His generosity, His graces.

At times a challenge face,
feeling lost and unprotected.
It’s up to us, to just accept.
Soon we’ll see light, not yet detected.

When God puts in our path
a brand new stage on which to dance.
It’s up to us, to just accept
this opportunity, this chance.

Thank you for welcoming me to this community. I was born in Cuba but emigrated with my family to the US when I was three. I am mother to three young adults now, and also a grandmother.
