If only
by some chance
I had an idea
that I will lose my own face one day
in search of an ideal face
I would have never
displayed my being
in the show room
of this material world

I would like to translate this poem
Instead of searching for an ideal, one could learn to accept onself as good enough person and achieve one's best. A lovley thoughtful short poem.
