Accept me

Accept me as I am,
I have no guarantee.
A claim to perfection I have not.
Perfect I cannot be.

I, like you, am human.
Prone to make mistakes.
Failure is not a character flaw,
just a part of the human makeup.

I live, I laugh and I also learn.
My knowledge is incomplete.
I am searching all the time,
in waking hours as well as sleep.

I have a long road to travel,
as well as you do.
We learn our lessons on the way.
Wisdom we shall accrue.

So please accept me as I am,
because I am just me.
No one like me in the world.
That is my only guarantee.

This is how I feel,
I have a heart, open it and see.
Please take care.
That's all I am, just me.
