35. PLEASE ACCEPT ME

Father, please accept me
   As Your surrendering son.

Son, please accept Me
As your surrendered Father
Who was once upon a time
A rejected and discarded Father.

   Father, let us enjoy
   The beauty of mutual acceptance.

Son, indeed,
That is an extraordinary suggestion.
Today you deserve My Gratitude-sea.
