I can adapt
not so inflexible I cannot survive
Behaviour can change
Adopt the ways of the culture
Necessity
I can adapt
I cannot lose
I cannot change my nature
Though the pines may bend
Still pines
Though the clothes be altered
Still silk
I can adapt
I cannot change my nature
When you need shade
I cannot be oak
When you need warmth
I cannot be wool
I am not defective
not a shapeshifter
I give you all that I have
Cannot give what isn't mine
Cannot be what you ask
Silk will not offer warmth if you ask it to
Pine will not grow leaves if you tell it to
I do not need to change
I am strong
I am soft
No need to be oak
No cause to be wool
My task is my own
My heart is my own
I can adapt
nature cannot be altered
