Be Yourself! Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Be Yourself!

Rating: 5.0


If I have ten apples, and you have one
If I have a big mansion and you have none
If I have a genius brother and you a dumbo
If I have a loving mother and you have not
If I have a bright future and you haven't
If I have a sweet smile and you don't
Please don't be angry with me,
do not be jealous of me,
just look in the mirror and come to know
that person you are looking at,
try your best, know her and be satisfied
your garden has the same color ever
Be Yourself! Talk to God and thank HIM for that....
