I should be happy the way that I am,

Despite all that I’ll never be;

The physical side has diminished a lot,

But still who I am adds up to me!

                NOT!

My character stays with me no matter what–

Yes, in time, I’ll know this is true.

But I’ve got to feel and to grieve and to know loss

Before the acceptance shines through.

 

And then I’ll be happy with all that I am,

The triumph will outshine the loss.

Because of my weakness I found greater strength,

(And also I learned who’s the boss.)
