Where Books Find a Home

Excerpts from Compilation
Daily Acceptance
Prenez-moi pour ce que je suis et non pour ce que vous voudriez que je sois. Regardez-moi avec des yeux de compassion et non avec ceux de convoitise car au fond de mon âme je souffre plus que n’importe quel être sur terre.
Offrez-moi un cœur, plutôt qu’une pépite d’or. Touchez-moi tendrement que de me dire : je vous aime. Souriez-moi gentiment que de me faire des promesses d’amitié. Ces petites choses sont pour moi les preuves les plus tangibles de cette fleur fragile et universelle qu’est l’Amour…….
Take me for what I am and not for what you would want me to be !
Look at me through the eyes of compassion and not with those of lust and envy;
Because at the deepest of my soul, I suffer more than any other human being.
Offer me a heart rather than a golden nugget.
Touch me gently than telling me you love me.
Offer me a kind smile than false promises of friendship.
These small things are for me the real proofs
Of the fragile and universal flower that is Love…..
Please forgive!
I thought it would be easy for me to express my hurt, my suspicions
And I would be able to recover some sort of serenity and peace.
I thought it would be OK to tell you how I feel
And with that I would be able to find the inner peace
That you wish so much for me.
Yet, I did not count on hurting you.
I did not count on bringing tears to your angelic eyes
And amertume in your heart…..
Please forgive me !
