Acceptance

IndiBlogger Badge

Husband feels "my wife, my partner
should know my needs, thoughts aspirations
and keep me happy at all times... "

Wife feels the same and wants her
prince in shining Armour
to be always courteous, kind and loving
with never a frown or harsh word
escaping his lips...

It’s a matter of time
that disillusionment sets in
for humans, mere mortals
falls short in the game
of mind reading and satisfying…
each time, every time!

It's the supreme and supreme alone
who can shower peace, contentment
and happiness long time...

practical way then, is to  accept partner
physically and emotionally
exactly as they are, with warts and all
and look to the supreme guidance
for happiness and peace, long time…

  1. Indeed, no relationship can be sustained meaningfully without mutual acceptance "warts and all".

  9. This is wonderful.

    There is a quote by Sri Aurobindo where he says something like -- if satisfaction and fulfillment could be found in relationships, nobody would need God.

    1. Thank you Amit! More so for adding the quote of Sri Aurobindo which is the underlying theme of this poem as well.
