Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is acceptance.
Today’s poem is a number poem about fantasy and acceptance.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,

Fortune leaves no reason for regret.
In what one has there is unbearable beauty.
For every moment sings with unfelt joy,
Though some would drown their sorrows in
self-pity,
Yearning for whatever they can’t get.
Fantasies, of course, continue, yet
One finds good sustenance in their employ,
Uniting hope with fact and dreams with duty,
Rich sense of self that one ought not forget.
