I am no Hercules
I cannot run a sprint
I am no Midas, I cannot print monies
I am no artist, I cannot weave stories
I am no singer, I cannot sing sonnets
I am no painter, I cannot paint dreams
But with no power, no talent - I still have something
I care, I empathize, I love, I give
I work, I play
My heart feels
I give way, I respect
I trust, I do not cheat
Yes - I do have these values
I do not need riches to be a gentlemen, my dear
When I have these subtle things in my Quiver
I cannot run a sprint
I am no Midas, I cannot print monies
I am no artist, I cannot weave stories
I am no singer, I cannot sing sonnets
I am no painter, I cannot paint dreams
But with no power, no talent - I still have something
I care, I empathize, I love, I give
I work, I play
My heart feels
I give way, I respect
I trust, I do not cheat
Yes - I do have these values
I do not need riches to be a gentlemen, my dear
When I have these subtle things in my Quiver
