      A glimpse of me…in honesty

      A glimpse of me you can see ​ ​   

      in my books sitting on my shelves

      in the mementos I collect in my memory box

      a glimpse of me you can see

      in the value system of my family

      and in the company that I keep ​

      a glimpse of me you can see ​  

      in the stories written on the paths I have walked

      also, in the chaotic footprints
