The Acceptance

What use in experience,
If not breathed
From the sinews of our being?

In forgiving, the butterfly
Can spread her beautiful wings
And, with her delicate touch,
Offer and receive in humility.

For, when there is nothing more
To search, other than to accept
Herself serene, to know her best,
She takes her flight to find
Her rest in harmless eyes.

Ruby Esprit’s heartfelt poetry about her experiences of being adopted give an emotional insight into her life. She candidly relates her reunion with her siblings and her birth mother and father, drawing her reader into this tale of adversity. Her details of her time living in an orphanage and her struggle with the decision to find her birth parents highlight the difficulties that she has experienced. Yet, ultimately, these poems are uplifting and are truly a story of self-discovery.
