Trying to turn another
into our image: our children, our wives
But you know how that
saying goes: individuals we all are
We cannot be made: we need
to be accepted just as we are
We each have our own
beginnings: we each need to grow
That's the way God
intended it to be: don't you know?
So just learn to accept
it: give up that silly pride
Let us all grow up as
intended: let us individually show
You cannot change a
leopard's spots: impossible to even try
For all will be as God
intended: that’s the truth: do or die!
The beginning
of love
Is to let
those we love
Be perfectly
them selves
And not to
twist them
To fit our
own image
Otherwise we
love only
The
reflection of ourselves
We find in
them
Thomas
Merton
