I am me, I am not you
my faults surround me
I've cured one or two
the rest will have to be
I am me, I am not you
I have changed some of me
some minor, some major
I can't change my crucial
for that's the accurate me
I have got what I've got
and I'm not what I'm not

At least you 've got what you've got
better than don't get anything
thank you Jerry we hope more.

Accept my pass

Our core rebels when someone wants us to change into someone we are not ... I hear you, Jerry, your voice resounds strong and clear.  When the common denominator is Love differences become enriching for both parts involved.

The picture speaks very well for itself. You mean it!

Absolutely, and yes indeed, Margherita. I don't mind some change, but I prefer to be the one who has come up with the idea rather than being "told" this or that. You are very observant, and yep, I meant it. Thank you, always, for being here.
