Our own way to shine

Our own way to shine

By May Kwek

When I was a child who liked to mimic things

My parents would smile and sometimes wink

Then my sister would do something I could not do

And dare me to try and mimic that if I could

I would try and through experience find

That we each have our own ways to shine

So while I couldn’t stare the way she could

She could never twist her tongue the way I could

Now that we are older

 Things are pretty much the same

I am good at words

And she is good at games

So what’s up with those ideas?

That there is only one way to shine?

We each have our own strengths

And I have found mine

We each have our own path

The one that only we will take

So never mind those ego ideas

My own future I will make

I’ll work on what I am good at

And try to make it the best

I will find my own way to shine

And never mind about the rest
