An Honest Self-Portrait Poem by Meng Lim Dr
An Honest Self-Portrait
I'm strong
only in a small part--
my weaknesses abound
but I don't ever lose heart
I'm my own
I seek no comparison
even as a tiny
and unseen weed
the rose I envy not-
the sun shines
equally at this spot-
I'm warmed
and nourished
never impoverished-
with patience
and diligence
I hope to learn
to turn
some weaknesses
into some stronger strait-
and I do clearly know
that wouldn't be too late
