Support & Acceptance

At first I'm tempted to say that Support is greater than Acceptance; Support gives, where Acceptance does not take away... and then my arguement crumbles for lack of foundation. Support is built on Acceptance.

Support VS Acceptance

It’s not for me to accept

But I support you

In your decision to accept it or not

Though I prefer you didn’t

Accept a label

Or wear your reality like it’s some fine robe

Or carry the weight like an unmovable anchor on your soul

And let it limit you

Or use it like an excuse

For what you say and what you do

Because the truth is

It doesn’t define you

You are more than the hand life dealt you

Don’t be out of touch

Don’t be out of reach

Your life means so much

Though you can’t quite see it

But you are young

Have yet to discover your purpose

And find your life’s meaning

You don’t need a crutch

And you don’t have to keep bleeding

Be who you are

It is who you were meant to be

If the world can’t embrace you

You don’t have to run on empty

In due time

Your clan will find you

Just don’t let them find you with your eyes closed

-not breathing

Every experience you are experiencing

Is preparing you for your ultimate beginning

And each day is a new beginning

It’s you that has to do the mending

And take up the responsibility

To live the life you want to be living

Only you hold the pen to orchestrate your novel life

I can give you wings,

But it is you who has to fly

No matter what your plight in life

At least try

There’s not a being on the face of this earth who will get by

Without an undried eye in their lifetime

I promise you tears

But I also promise you moments of unmitigated happiness

That will make you forget those moments of pain in your yester years

Abandon all fear

Accept my support

Because I will stand by you in all your fleeting moments

Of life unfolding and your desire to slit your wrists

Jump off bogus vantage points -sky high

Until I can change your point of view

But know I accept you

in the entirety of your being

-never your disease

Because of its limiting disposition

It doesn’t define you

And you should never give it the time to…

What to do if your kid is gay.

Some people think if the parent of a gay kid does not kick them out of the house, that is enough for a parent of the year award. It's not. That just shows acceptance, not support.

If your child is blind, you accept it. If your child is deaf, you accept it. If your child broke his spine and will never walk again, you accept it.

These are things you would never want your child to suffer through, but you have to accept that these are the cards that were delt.

If your child tells you he wants to be a musician, and you go to every one of his performances and cheer the loudest, that is support. If your child says they want to be an artist, and you call that guy who you dated in high school because he owns an Art gallery, that is support.

Support is not just accepting what your child is, it is embracing it, cherishing it, and realize that it is a part of who they are, not some afliction they have.

Dear Beloved

my beloved and me 

both are maths professor

but what we do 

teaches different level of education.

i in school and she is  home tutor

but when i initiated for her new sail 

come along with me and teach where ever you like.

she accepted that she can teach at more level high 

with the rising tide.

what she found in her heart with firm determination

that she should teach at college level. 

more higher then my own level 

this is firm acceptance 

from my side that my beloved is more

research oriented who can analyze the moving wind

and found out solution for that. 

but with my strong support she decided to break the chain of timidness and fear 

housed her.

she came out of closet formed by her own .

with my acceptance and her acceptance in varied form. 

and my support turned the new path of her own progress 

in naive form.
