Acceptance

Content within my mediocrity,
Contrite aspirations pronounce properly,
Worldly grandiose desiring not,
Nor the slightest aggrandizement,
Despairing not for the lesser,
Rejecting unjust reduction of Divine intent,
Nor unfit settling into degradation,
Ostentatious standards negated,
Lunatic fringe austerity refined away,
Not asking too much,
Not accepting too little,
Feasting upon that which is placed upon the plate,
All things worth doing are worth doing ordinary,
Normality in stout nature,
Little in hidden disguise,
A face lovingly blending into the crowd,
A toiling man working to be fed,
A gentle man patient and kind,
Satisfied, able to delight quiet in a crowd,
Affirmed, enough is enough,
