I will seldom worry
For I never tried
Proving to these mortals-
That I am perfect-
I will never wonder
Why their faulty eyes
And filthy hearts-
Rummage the same
In me!
I will never endeavor-
To be the best for them
Oh my honest folk!
For,
Here in this massive earth,
There are some,
Who still admire
My adversity!
Yes,
Gratitude to leniency of
This grand God
That there are some,
Who still adore me!
The way I am
And I remember:
When I saw that
First sparrow perching
On the window pane-
And I babbled, yes…
You came rushing
You understood
My indescribable experience
And kissed my forehead…
When my clumsy legs
Ascended from the crawl
And I walked, yes…
The glittering streams of gladness
Meandering down
From your mighty eyes
Blessed me…
When my tiny fingers
Wrote this first letter
A-
Which from no angle
Looked alike-
Still!
You felt the brilliance
And praised me…
Your kisses worked
And here speak, I
These thousand words-
And the world listens,
They applaud…
Your tears worked
And here traverse, I
These dense woods-
And chase the beam of Sun
Radiance, hence, spreads…
Your praises worked
And here write, I
These unseen arts-
And describe the unnoticeable hue
Charms, hence, glorifies
So,
Expect from me-
No change for them,
For they love…
This perfectionist in me!
And I worry
Not even a bit,
For there are some,
Who still love…
This child in me!
And I, too, love you…
