Credence to the Whole

Sometimes it is darkness
that delivers us to light
and reliving memories
often secures foresight
 
Owning one’s history
bestows a new grace
acceptance necessary
as past and present interlace
 
Incomplete and limited
if discarding recollections
what makes us unique
is our story and imperfections
 
Approval of the entire self
offers credence to the whole
acknowledging all the elements
facilitates cognition of the soul
