To The Much Weary

I'm not as strong as you are
Not as strong.
I cannot carry all that you can
But perhaps I can carry a little
So that you only have to carry a little more.

I'm not as smart as you are
Not as smart.
I cannot figure everything out
Like you can
But perhaps I can figure a little
So that you only have to figure a little more.

I'm not as good as you are
Not as good.
I cannot give my whole self to the world
The way you can
But perhaps I can give a little
So that you only have to give a little more.

I'm not as strong as you are
But perhaps I am strong enough
Strong enough.
If you can't
Perhaps we can.
