Poems

Dr Peter Lim Mar 2021
Rule nr 1         trust yourself

              Rule nr 2        be original, never be an echo of others

              Rule nr 3        be curious and explore

             Rule. nr 4       be thorough and diligent

             Rule. nr 5       experience and feel

          Rule  nr 6.      use both the right and left brain--integrate them

            Rule nr 7.       don't accept things at face-value:  evaluate

           Rule  nr 8.       be humble--open your mind to all possibilities

           Rule. nr 9.       be generous, be fair to and respect everyone

        Rule  nr 10      enjoy what you do, if not, it's not worth the effort.

I never cared for
Broken things
They seemed so pointless
Useless
Unlovable
I never saw any worth
Because what good is a guitar
Without any strings?

I never saw any worth in myself
Because I hated broken things
I believed the idea of no hope
That I couldn't change anything
But your hand in my life
Has helped me to see
That maybe, sometimes
It's worth fixing.
