Thoughts

I am not sure what I believe
Someday I will figure it out.
Until then, I will have some questions
And I'm sure a little doubt.
When I feel a little despair,
I can always seek guidance in prayer.
I want to teach my children.
I want them to learn and grow.
I want them to learn what I didn't know.
I don't want to hide.
I don't want to feel ashamed.
I want to deal, accept, move on and
Reflect on the knowledge I've gained.
I want to share with others my life experiences, good or bad.
Perhaps what insight I have to offer might make another not feel so sad.
I want to be treated with respect.
Be an equal and not be told I'm wrong.
This is when compromising comes along.
Not everything is black and white.
Sometimes there is a little gray.
I strive to do best I can...
I can only do that day to day.
