I Am a Bean

by darlenev16

 

People may look at me and think I'm a bean

My parents may have crossed the border, but who's to put a label on me

Just give me a chance to show what I really mean

I am filled with much potential, they just can't see

 

Thanks to my parents, lovers and givers of life

They have done so muh how can I ever repay

They have always been there helping me through all of my strife

One day I will give back to them, but for now that is on delay

 

I work hard and give my all in everything

At times I may not succeed, but at least I try

I am not known for being daring, but I am known for caring

If it's just one person I can help that's all that should comply

 

Thanks to the givers, I am learning from error

I will continuously be learning, and become a sharer
