I want to be what I can be
but sometimes it's hard for me
you make it sound so very easy
but climbing mountains will make me queasy!
They are going to mock me
when I try my best to a fault
screech in my ears with a "Gee"
if all my hard work comes to a halt!
I have got an idea of how much
big they expect from a head as mine
but what about a heart as such
which isn't at all invested in all their brine!
So I do what I am so very best at
and that's giving my dear ones a pat,
some hundred smiles to ease their worries;
and a spoon of my infamous curry!
