You said that you want me to be strong… I am strong.. I have been strong..
But if being strong would mean that you will be alone climbing up… Let me be weak..
For by being weak, i can be humble,
For by being weak, i accept my limitation
For by being weak, i open myself to others
The time of my weakness is the time of my surrender
It is the time that when i am weak that I am strong.
For it is no longer myself but Himself that is at work
For me to survive the present moments
For me to survive everything that turn their back on me
Allow me to be weak…
For I want to be strong
And be surrended with genuine love, care and compassion
This would make me strong.
